NC: This congressman has a go bag; he wants you to have one, too

Many of the “go bags,” medicine kits and boxes of canned food and water that Americans stockpiled after the 9/11 attacks have been lost, expired or gone bad.

Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-N.C.) says it’s time to pack a new emergency bag and draft updated evacuation plans in preparation for another terrorist attack. He’s put together a “how to” handbook to help constituents and other members of the public plan what to do.

“I was a Boy Scout, and the motto of the Boy Scouts was to be prepared,” Pittenger said.

The chairman of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare said his handbook was inspired by growing concerns about terrorism and the Islamic State group. U.S. intelligence officials say that more than 100 people from the United States have traveled to Syria to fight there. Authorities fear those people might return radicalized and trained to carry out their own attacks.

  1. ISIS is not the reason everyone needs a gobag.

  2. I'd say every politician's go bag also has copies of their bank records and passwords for their Cayman Island bank accounts, too.
