After slashing the city's anti-terrorism funds, Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff now apparently thinks angry letters from New Yorkers are the real safety threat.
When a Daily News reporter attempted to deliver scores of messages protesting the cuts to Chertoff's Washington office, he was promptly turned away.
The letters, faxes and printed e-mails "would put all the employees here, including the secretary, at risk," said a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman when the delivery was attempted Friday.
She cited the 2001 scare caused by anthrax-laced letters.
Chertoff was not in any immediate danger. He was safe in a Moscow hotel during an official visit.
I wish I could make up shit like that!
