Yes.  The building, the people, the surrounding communities, and more.  
Its odd, perhaps silly and more than a little sad that security here in 
the heartland is not all that much different from what I remember in 
Singapore in the mid-70's.  In my smug fashion I chaulked it up to 
petty facist quasi capitolism and well deserved paranoia.  Now I see 
those young people at the airport carrying M-16's and I feel sad.  If 
the work truly is dangerous, lets give it some old expendable dudes.  
These kids belong in college raising hell, or in factories making 
stuff, and home every night making babies.

Second time in a week an email made me feel dirty.  (Mine, not yours.)
