    Interesting memo. And yet more proof that it is impossible to ever be
    completely safe. What was it that Eisenhower said in his last presidential
    address? "We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute
    security" or words close to that.
    
    Thinking of the particulars, something seems odd. The USS Cole was an
    excellent target in the harbor in Yemen. It was a great symbol. Pretty much
    everyone was on board. A cruise ship seems, hmm, less good. It will only be
    fully loaded when it's in the deep ocean or just coming and going from the
    harbor. In the harbor there would  be lots of other ships around making
    rescue efforts easier. In the deep ocean paddling after a ship under full
    steam seems futile.
