Hi --

I assume they are still letting trucks drive across the dam? Are these
trucks being stopped and either searched or at least, drivers checked
out? If not, then the closing of the public area is a band-aid if they
really are concerned about security for the dam.

(I ran this by a friend whose agency is incolved with homeland security
and that is what he said, btw...)
