Alaska is in the news again. Hardly has the news of the “bridge to nowhere” died down when we hear of more excesses from this non-contiguous state. The lawmakers of the remote village of Dillingham, Alaska petitioned the Department of Homeland Security for $202,000 to fight terrorism (after all Russia is only 800 miles away whereas Seattle is more than 1200 miles away) and the DHS, being the esteemed organization it is, granted it. How was this money spent? They installed 80 cameras all over the village to watch over the 2,400 inhabitants. Swell.
