This is about 2 hour old info from the head of Emergency Services in SF. -ed ----------------- ed@the7thbeer.com

Depends on who they are afraid of. If they fear the people, perfect and all the better. If they fear $random_third_party at the cost of the people, very bad. -ed ----------------- ed@the7thbeer.com
