Omaha is hardly a corn field.
The people who oppose this generally live in New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, California and maybe Texas. The states with the most to lose money-wise. While the people in Wyoming and Montana among many, many other state support equal dollars for states. No one is going to change anyones' mind.
New York gets about $2 per person in anti-terrorism funds. North Dakota gets about $17 per person. Meanwhile, if Islamic radicals are planning an attack on NDak or Omaha, there is a good chance that they have connections to established cells in New York City. If that is the case, it is likely that the plot will be uncovered by the New York Police Department before either the FBI or the local authorities get wind of it. New York City taxpayers pay for a well organized anti-terrorism police operation that includes undercover agents, fluent translaters, etc.
Believe me, we would rejoice if our tax dollars and efforts resulted in saving lives and property anywhere in the nation. Unlike some posters on this thread, we haven't forgotten that we are all in this together.
