So I've been looking over the "Homeland Security" website for a few days now...

They recommend some pretty expensive "survival" items, such as a HEPA air filter for a positive pressure safe room. I've also noticed they've left out a survival tool dear to my heart... a firearm. Its pretty clear to me why they left this off the list in spite of the fact that other big ticket items were included.

I've also noticed that a good knife was not included on the website either... although pliers and a "shut off wrench" were.

So here's my question:
Does anyone have any other important items that they feel should have made their list but didn't due to political correctness, etc.?

I want to be as prepared as possible and I'm suddenly not sure about the completeness of this information. <img src="images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
