Iowa Krispy Kreme Safe From Terror
Just as members of the national 9/11 Commission last month lambasted the federal government for moving too slow to identify critical assets, national-security experts continue to question some of the choices on Iowa’s list.Included are the Field of Dreams movie site in Dyersville, the Boone Railroad Museum, the De Soto National Wildlife Refuge in Harrison County, and the Grotto of the Redemption shrine in West Bend.
A decision by emergency-management officials to keep a watchful eye on food-production facilities resulted in critical-asset designations for Sprouts Unlimited Inc., a vegetable producer in Marion; Snappy Popcorn Co. in Breda; and a Krispy Kreme drive-through in Clive.
“Food-borne illnesses, whether they’re naturally introduced or terrorist-introduced, are of a concern,” Miller said. “It is a method of attack that the terrorists have at least given some thought to.”

Are they safe from calories?

Nuclear facilities are expendable – but save the Krispy Kreme franchises at all cost! Also, if you don’t continue gorging yourself on donuts, the terrorists win. In short, be scared but keep buying. Check.
I’m beginning to think our entire government is comprised of thousands of Michael Brown’s collectively conspiring with one another to prove just how incompetent government can be.

I love Snappy Popcorn. Thank God they’re keeping a watch on that.
