Only 3000 people died in 2001 from 9/11. Then zero every year since, so really swimming pools are much more dangerous than airplanes flying into buildings.
Thats an average of only 300 a year, so about 8% of swimming pools.
In 2007, there were 3,443 fatal unintentional drownings in the United States, averaging ten deaths per day. An additional 496 people died, from drowning and other causes, in boating-related incidents.
While I like the 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun, I think the reloading time and small ammo tube is going to hamper you in the long run.
Handguns are marginal for range and stopping power, so my zombie regulator is a Marlin 1894C firing.44 Remington Magnum with a ported barrel. 6.5 pounds, 3 feet long, 9 shots and you can reload it without taking turning the gun around.
Also you can stand off out to 95 meters and still have a very good chance of a head or neck shot. Two-three Z lined up, a 44 will through and through one or two of them even at 90-95 meters.
Depends on the sector, take an Intel chip, the Core series for the North American market are all sourced from US plants, but will go to Malaysia or Costa Rica for packaging, then back to NA for sale.
So some of the product is an export and some an import, same goes for all the leading markets in the world. Parts of an Airbus are made in the US, parts of a Boeing are made in the EU.
Cars, heavy machinery, etc will have parts sourced from a variety of places, things like an iPod are going to be counted as an import to the US, but when sold overseas an intellectual property export.
I agree about the admins, but the Google ranking argument doesn't hold water.
I just googled a few random items. "M-1 Abrams" - Wikipedia link was first result "Strawberry" - Wikipedia link for Golden Strawberry was first result "Vibrator" - Wikipedia link was fourth link, first non-ad result. "Mach-3" - Wikipedia link was sixth link for the Gillette Mach3 (the thing I was searching for) after a Google formula for Mach 3 to m/s, four airsoft gun links and shopping block for Mach3 razor blades.
So it still tends to be at the top, it'd be at the top in 3 out of 4 if not for an ad block from Google.
Well, since the DoD has it's own level 4 biohazard facility where it runs all of its...whatever it does...at Fort Detrick Maryland with the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), I doubt the CDC's civilians would just be turned into Doctor Mengeles instantly.
Katrina, and the Iraqi Occupation have shown that the US government doesn't do well at civilian-military cooperation on the fly.
If I go to a BIA school and then work for the BIA that doesn't make me an Indian Police Officer does it?
If you read the correction you'll see that the school was a joint KGB/Soviet defense ministry school and he went on to a defense ministry agency doing scientific research, not a KGB funded research laboratory.
"He got into the business by accident - he started collecting viruses as a hobby, in 1989, after his PC at the Ministry of Defence became infected with Cascade."
Soviet Ministry of Defense was not the KGB, even if he had worked in a research agency that was KGB, it wouldn't make him an officer in the KGB.
All I can find on this is - "Kaspersky graduated from the Institute of Cryptography, Telecommunications and Computer Science, an institute co-sponsored by the Russian Ministry of Defence and the KGB."
And - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/15/kaspersky_profile_mixup/ http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/2008/feb/13/4 "The Guardian has apologised to Eugene Kaspersky after mistakingly naming the anti-virus guru as a former KGB officer. Eugene Kaspersky, co-founder and chief exec of the internet security company Kaspersky Lab, was described as a "KGB man" and a lieutenant in the KGB in an otherwise accurate article (The ex-KGB man stalking the cybercriminals since renamed The Russian defence against global cybercrime)."
So the US and Russian Federation toast the stock they have. 5 years later the People's Republic of China or North Korea release a mutated weaponized smallpox that no one else has a vaccine for.
Thats assuming the US and Russians are the only ones with smallpox in a vial still.
The US military does not have a "cold war structure", USAF, USMC, US Army were changed from 1990 through 1996 and then the Army was restructured again with the advent of the Stryker Brigade concept. The last time the US military deployed in a cold war structure for AirLand Battle was in Iraq and Kuwait in 1990-'91.
The Navy has a modified "cold war structure", mainly because ships are ships and theres not much streamlining you can do other than decrease the number of ships you have and re task some of them. Naval Aviation has been dramatically changed with the reduction of deployed aircraft models from 8 to 5.
I'm from Cheyenne River Indian Reservation in South Dakota.
Lived for a little while up at Burlington WA in '08-09, used to drive by Tulalip all the time, we'd go to movies down at Marysville for the bigger screens.
I used to think Portland and Seattle crab legs or halibut was fresh, Anchorage, Seward and Homer seafood really changed my opinion.

Better, the National Security Act of 1947.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Act_of_1947 - that established the CIA and started giving legalized spying huge budgets.

If Patient Zero was the result of DoD or CIA experiments they'd shoot Patient Zero in the head and incinerate Patient Zero.

Toyota is huge on sourcing from Toyota, hence the shortage in Toyota parts since the Tohoku Earthquake.
Same with things like engines, transmissions, control computers.
Car makers and their OEM partners make money off older cars while garage business is what keeps car dealers profitable.
They all still make a ton of money off spare parts and dealerships wouldn't survive without the shop business.
Manufacturing accounts for the lion’s share of U.S. exports—accounting for 62 percent in 2008
Royalties from Intellectual Property (patents, film, software, tv, music) - 13.3 percent in 2008

As for calling it all "Mengele-grade shit going on there" - you should read up on what Mengele did - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mengele
The CDC is closely associated to the US military?

1:452 to 1:427 for the United States on average in 2009
For big cities its 1:426 for LAPD. 1:228 for NYPD, 1:216 for Chicago, 1:219 for Philadelphia.
Where I live, its 1:724.
If there were no other samples on the planet and it doesn't every break out again, is it right to exterminate a species?
Heck, we could uncover it moving a graveyard anywhere in the world, or exhuming a body for some reason.
No but stockpiles are needed to do research on smallpox genetics.

Or for a former South Dakota Senator. Local politician goes to Washington, gets totally corrupted.
Also works for Rep Cunningham, Bob Packwood, etc.
Yea they can, they can avoid walking outside into the sunlight.
Seattle, especially Ballard has a good mix of different ethnic food, I've had great Sushi, Thai and seafood in Ballard.
Portland used to have some great Indonesia, not been out for that in Seattle yet.
I'm in Anchorage now, the seafood is fresher, but my heart will always been with Jakes, Jakes Grill and Riverplace in Portland.
Plains Indian food isn't fusion and that's American. Salmon, crab legs, fried chicken, hot wings aren't fusion either.
There are alot of invested in the US or Canada dishes that aren't "fusion".
