ADD THIS TO YOUR WORRY LIST: Mike Silverman has a potential terrorist target: the upcoming Gay Pride parades.

Pride parades in large cities (NY, SF, etc) usually draw half a million to a million participants and spectators, and security is usually very light, limited to police who engage in traffic and crowd control. Given the massed number of people, I really hope parade organizers in the big cities are extra-vigilant with security this year. In the past I have worried about attacks from militia types and other right-wing loons, but the masses of people at a parade must be attractive to Islamic terrorists as well.

Hmm. Sadly, this makes sense to me.
