The Threats Are Real

Listing of places the Department of Homeland Security deemed likely targets of terrorism and the funding they got as a result in 2007:

• The World's Largest Ball of Paint in Alexandria, IN ($12 million)

• Barney Smith's Toilet Seat Art Museum in Alamo Heights, TX ($10 million)

• Carhenge in Alliance, NE ($25 million)

• The Giant Lava Lamp in Soap Lake, WA ($143 million)

In the interest of full disclosure I should note my wife and I honeymooned at Carhenge... seriously.
