Since when can the government actually order a media blackout? Is this because of the Patriot Act? :shakesfist:

they talk about it every day on the news here.  this morning before work they had live shots of both nuke reactors (there are two different ones in the area) and spoke to the guy that ran one of them.  they seem very bored about the "threat".  One of them has been powered down for months for refueling and the other is just humming along.

Hmm...so there's a media black out but it didn't work.

Quick, pass more legislation depriving people of their rights!
