>>Based on their tests so far it would really surprise me if they could hit Hawaii. Yeah, I know, they SAY they can. The feds say they will be keeping an extra eye out over the 4th just to be sure. (Of course they are watching all the time. I'm sure that was just for public reassurance).

One should also keep in mind that technology progresses quickly. What is not possible today can be done easier tomorrow. It means, imo, that dismissing obvious threat now (because technology is still questionable) is identical to keeping head planted firmly in sand while back part of the body faces the enemy.
