Its intent is to buy us time without holding up development.

That training really helped us on the second time around, ... It was one of those acts of fate.

It was somewhere in North Carolina, and the waitress there was the first one to tell us about what had happened that morning, with the bombings. But it wasn't until later, when we stopped at a Target store, before we saw the TV footage. Needless to say, it was a really weird time -- we actually had to drive around a lot of places, and our parents wanted us to turn around, but we kept at it, and it ended up working out. But if we had left a day later, who knows what might have happened.

This kind of gave us an idea after playing all of these teams from across the state of how we rank against them.

Everything can be broken -- there's no such thing as perfect security. There's only degrees of insecurity.

While we can never fully eliminate the possibility that terrorists will strike against us, we are doing our utmost to ensure the security of our forces so they can carry out their important missions at minimum risk.
