The Homeland Security Department has issued a warning that al-Qaeda may be targeting Veterans Administration hospitals, believing they are less strictly guarded than other military installations. I worked in a VA hospital for six years, and although I'm sure security is tighter now than when I left in 1985, the logistics of security a medical facility, not just military, but any medical center, would be a nightmare. You have people wandering all over the building, looking for offices, visiting patients, pretending to be working, and so on.

Attacking a Veterans hospital would probably be considered a real coup for the terrorists. I can think of few things, however, that would give our active military personnel more desire to destroy a country.
