Reader Justin S. sent me this article that has some OPSEC implications for prepared families: Multi-level bunker found under East Austin home. Justin’s comment: “I thought this might interest you if you haven’t already seen it. The implications are obvious and interesting. Does the man get to retain his property or does he have his weapons and house confiscated for ‘building code violations?'” Learn from this, folks!
