The AZ / Mexico border is to porous. Terrorists could smuggle practically anything over.
So how exactly is all this stuff going to help you in the case of a dirty bomb? Are you going to shoot the cloud as it nears you? Do you have gas masks?

Once the cloud settles, who are you trying to protect yourself against? I don't think there was looting and stuff in the aftermath of the subway gas attacks in Japan. There wasn't any insurgency in the aftermath of the subway bombings in Spain...nor after the Murrah building came down.

If we lived in an unstable country...then yeah, sure...I could see having all this stuff. But we aren't in an unstable country.[/b]
If it takes the Feds anywhere near as long to get to town as they did for Katrina, seems like it would be everyone for themseves after such an event. I don't think something that takes out a whole City is really in the same league as a few blown up train passengers, or a confined gas attack in a subway.
