That's true in practice. In theory, the Fed Gov has designated certain places and criticial to national security and national landmarks. Each place designated gets X-dollars allocated to it. The Empire State building is NOT on the list for Homeland Security as having any significance or importance to the US despite the offices and # of lives that could be lost if 9/11 happened again.
However, you are right, when the states actually get the $$$, it isn't necessarily spent on what it should be.
