Critical Infrastructure

In the outside reading, we saw two different definitions for critical infrastructure. Your assignment for this LIST is simply to identify one organization or "asset" that you think should qualify as critical infrastructure in the United States. Look at those definitions and try to think broadly, don't just read what other students have come up with and find something similar.

Your post just needs to identify the item, as usual, shown in brackets. And then a sentence or two about why you think it is "critical infrastructure".

Here's an example:

The power grid is often the first example of critical infrastructure (for instance in the glossary definition). Failure of the power grid can lead to breakdown in other elements of critical infrastructure, for instance, health care.

As always, you must come up with a different item than any previous student in the discussion (and you cannot use "electric power grid" as your example!).
