OK, this is just silly. Why would a law firm - which should be noted for its ability to think dispassionately - waste money on this sort of thing. It's just a little arrogant to think that your office will be one targeted so that you need safe rooms, gas protection, and stockpiled food supplies. Terrorists are going to hit high profile targets and as much as the legal world may think of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom the real world doesn't even know it exists. If your office is in a well known building such as the Sears Tower or the Empire State Building an attack might occur but it will either be so minor that your preparations are not needed (World Trade Center 1) or so major that none of this (except off site storage) will make any difference (911).

At least they aren't making provisions for the lawyers' pets.
