Gold in Fort Knox?

[St. Anky]

So I recently watched a show I'm beginning to enjoy quite a lot. It's called "Decoded" from the History Channel. I'm sure a few of you have at least heard of it. The show focuses on various urban myths and mysteries surrounding our nation's history. A team of people conduct their own "journalistic" type of investigation surrounding these mysteries and come to a conclusion on whether or not they believe or debunk the myth.

The most recent episode I watched was based on the rumor that Fort Knox is empty. Considering the amount of people, both local and abroad, that they interviewed, it seemed pretty clear that almost everyone believes there is no gold in Fort Knox.

Here are the facts:

1) The vault in Fort Knox has not been audited since 1974.

2) The Treasury Dept. has denied pretty much any requests to see inside the vault to confirm the presence of gold.

3) Since 9/11 security has almost doubled surrounding the fort itself.

4) There has been no explanation as to why no one is being allowed inside other than that it is a securty risk.

I admit it, I'm kind of a sucker for conspiracy theories. Not so much because I'm a paranoid fuck, but because I've found that if people are trying to hide something, it's because they're doing something wrong.

For those of you interested I ask, is there any gold in Fort Knox?
