6. This is going to be like a corporate shakedown
You know, the old "pay us off with no taxes and we'll open up shop in your city, hire a few people, and put a little something extra in your payoff envelope!" Now bush has started a process in motion that will have cities vying to be considered more of a "terrorist target" so they can get a piece of the vigorish.

"Hey! Just rescind your environmwental laws so we can open a dirty nuke power plant in your city and we'll pay you off with a DHS 'grant!'"
