As one of you aptly noted, "DHS is serious about this 'internet' thing." Here's a little more on why Homeland Security cut New York's antiterrorism funding:

Federal officials said yesterday that the city had not only done a poor job of articulating its needs in its application, but had also mishandled the application itself, failing to file it electronically as required, instead faxing its request to Washington.

C'mon, Secretary Chertoff, cut New York a little slack. Have you ever tried filling out a PDF with tooltip text? E-filing can be such a bitch!
