Looks like my home state of Wyoming is the new ground zero for a future terrorist attack :sarcasm:...

NEW YORK STILL TERRORIST TARGET #1
BUT ALARMING REPORT REVEALS ...
IT IS PRIORITY #35 IN HOMELAND FUNDING PER PERSON

First-of-its-kind Congressional Report Commissioned by Rep. Maloney
Shows New York Dropped 19 Places in Just One Year

Wyoming leads the pack overall in 2004 funding with $40.60 per person;
New York ranks 35th among states at $10.03

1. Bad stats

Actually, Wyoming got $61 per person, and NY got $25.

BUT:

How many people live in Wyoming? It is the LEAST POPULOUS STATE IN THE UNION.


How many in NY state?

Why even consider a per capita comparison when the underlying population comparison is so incredibly one-sided?

Very shakey statistics, indeed.
