Bah. If there is a dirty bomb attack, Philadelphia is a much more plausible target.
(There's water nearby, for the bomb-on-a-tramp-steamer theorists. Big city == higher body count. Nearby nuclear plant. Lots of historical sites rich with symbolic value. For the high-octane "stage an event to rev up America for war" conspiracy theorists, it's even more attractive; removing Philly would tilt Pennsylvania's electoral votes rightward, and who wouldn't want to go after Them Dirty Terrorists Who Melted The Liberty Bell?")
Of course, since I live twenty miles from Philly, none of the above is particularly _comforting_ to think about...
