FAX ATTACK!

These days it's heartening when we learn that the federal government really is being vigilant to protect the nation from grievous threats. So we were comforted to learn that the Department of Homeland Security has issued a warning about the threat posed by animal-rights activists and eco-terrorists. (The department has not issued any warning about white-supremacist groups or violent anti-abortion groups.) Among the insidious tactics used by eco-terrorists is "sending continuous faxes in order to drain the ink supply in [target] company fax machines." Oh, the horror!

You can't make this stuff up.
