Hello All,
I read this topic thread with interest, and would like to state for the record that I am civilian with no military background....
I live in rural Manitoba, and people seem to think that nothing will ever happen here. I am a member of our local emergency preparedness group, so am aware of some of the potential targets. Most people would be terrified if they knew just how many dangerous goods were stored in their community, for example.
There is one particular location that has had it's security increased substantially in recent years. It is a reason for great concern, and the threat of terrorism is taken very seriously.
Best Wishes,
-Rick
