It's well known by the regulars that I'm finishing my Ph.D at a large university.
It's also well known that I live in close proximity two nuclear reactors, one of the busiest shipping ports in the US, and a global cultural and traveling hub.
I don't know what kind of proof you want that various agencies would come and speak to our students about what they do on a daily basis, explain how the agencies coordinate and why, as well as those of us working at the research university be briefed on what to do in the event we are attacked.
I don't think I'm at liberty to explain why my specific university being attacked is more than a theoretical threat, sorry if that's too convenient for you.
I can say this, however, that if you think they are lying, and I'm lying about speaking with them, and lots of other reasonable people in this thread aren't concerned about a lot of things, it's probably time to reexamine how far off a cliff you're willing to drive this car. I've said a lot of things that would cause someone to disagree with me politically but never have I lied on this board about things I know to be true.
