#1 That's because each little kernel is like a tiny little bomb that explodes. What if one of those kernels found it's way onto a tiny little train or a tiny little airplane. Oh the humanity!

#2 The Amish are stuck in the middle. We're in the 21st century, The Amish are fixed in the 15th century, and al-Q is fixed in the 7th. Note how the Amish woman's outfit is nearly a burka. All they are missing is the hajib. All the Amish men have beards, even if they do shave their moustaches. And those black hats are pretty close to turbans. And the horse drawn carriages are perfect for smuggling WMD through the US. I think it's pretty clear what happens when these fundamentalist, word of the book types get together.

Continue the surveillance.

#5 Ah yes.... Bastille Day.... the day the french people stormed the Bastille Prison and freed all the prisoners (see I was paying attention in European History class!). Isn't this kind of a french Independance day?

Wasn't this yesterday or Wednesday?

#6 There are many places on the list that don't make sense at first, because they seem to be small backwaters doing unimportant things. But either they have some hidden value, such as being near the headwaters that flow into a major reservoir, for example, or they have been identified already as of being of some interest to bad guyz. Maybe some al-Qaeda operative thought working in a popcorn plant was a great cover.

Some might be targets like in the movie Telefon, that were targets many years before but are now unimportant.

#7 I think it was on Instapundit where I read that Indiana has submitted more site for protection under the Homeland security program than any other State. The ammount of money a State receives is directly proportional to the number of sites. A really good scam.
