Homeland Security Grants Went to "Zombie Apocalypse" Training

Most believe zombies are relegated to the movies and video games, but Oklahoma Republican Sen. Tom Coburn has highlighted the Department of Homeland Security's participation in a staged "zombie apocalypse."

According to Coburn's most recent oversight report "Safety at Any Price: Assessing the Impact of Homeland Security Spending in U.S. Cities," first responders were approved grant funds for a $1,000 entry fee to a week-long HALO Counter-Terrorism Summit in San Diego where the "marquee" event was a demonstration of a "zombie apocalypse."
