For these exercises, part of the scenario is to overload the participants 
with decoys or distractions, not real threats, to see how well they 
discard non-threats and focus on what has the highest risk/threat.

The entire laundry list probably isn't what keeps people in the White 
House awake at night.  But I guess the scenario designers were doing their
job picking distractors based on the uncritical reaction of some people.
