there's nothing in new york, right?

The Department of Homeland Security really thinks New York has no national monuments or icons?

New York's grant plummeted from about $207 million to $124 million. A DHS risk scorecard for the city asserted that the home of the Empire State Building and the Brooklyn Bridge has "zero" national monuments or icons.

Then shouldn't they logically have reduced funding to defend New York City to nothing?

Really, this is absurd. Scoring DHS at "zero" for national monuments and icons doesn't pass the laugh test. That's like rating New Orleans as having "zero" exposure to hurricanes.

DHS spending has always grossly overallocated money to places like Boise and Corpus Christi and Nashville, where I suspect the terror risk is relatively low, while shortchanging NY, DC (both already hit by terrorism) and other big (and dare I say, Democratic) cities like SF, Chicago, and Boston that are MUCH more likely to attract Al Qaeda's attention.
