Beware the terrorists

                                     
                                                            Beware of terrorists...                                  
                                     I don't think any terrorist would want to wade through 
metre deep snow 60 km from the Japan Sea coast in the
foothills of the mountains between Iwate & Akita to attack a town
that has a rapidly dwindling population of aging pickle makers.
Beware the corrupt pork barrelling politician getting kickbacks 
for making signs might have been more apt.

"Beware the corrupt pork barrelling politician getting kickbacks

I wonder how long it's been there. Since Kim Jong-Il's death, everybody's been a bit paranoid.
