Or maybe have a suicide boat dock in L.A. or San Fran.

Hmmmm. Maybe there is something to this whole wall business.

A friend of mine was an electrical guy for the Air Force a couple decades ago. He was trained to work on the launch systems for nukes (not the tech stuff, just the electrical components). W were talking one night and apparently there's a list of most likely targets to get hit. His base was one, DC two and the St Louis/SouthernIllinois/West KY area was third. I was really surprised, but he made some sense. Nuke the area where your major river transportation is and you cut down a lot of your ability to move manufacturing materials/food from the Midwest to the Northeast and down to major ports in the Gulf. 

I made a comment about us being able to shoot down a missile and he just shrugged and said "If anyone nukes us, they say you'll never see the truck driving it in."
