Default Fort Knox

Has anyone thought about what would happen with Fort Knox?

I just saw a History Channel report on it and it got me thinking...

As much as I despise Ft Knox and its hills (thanks Misery and Agony, yes I did my BCT there), I can't see MILGOV pulling the plug on it. The Gold is there, and with the end of fiat currency, Gold is money again. Besides as Legbreaker points out in the referenced thread, its too damn heavy to move it anywhere.

If you really want to get paranoid....

There is always the (unproven?) theory that Ft. Knox is nothing but a show place. The gold was never "really" there. Yes there was the ONE time some members of Congress were shown into the vault. But was it really gold?

I am not a fan of huge conspiracy theories...

However...

I'm just thinking out loud....

My $0.02
