How do you correctly pass and validate a Node: Type argument in Views 2?

I have several content types, 1 for each U.S. city. I'd like to generate a view based on the node type (ex. New York, Boston, etc. passed in the URL.
Currently the functionality works by selecting "Node: Type" under Arguments, title "You're in %", "Hide View" if argument is not present, basic validation, and "Hide View" if the argument does not validate.

The view works fine when ever I type in a URL with the correct city name and node type (cities/newyork). The title says "You're in New York" and the view shows up underneath. However, when I type in an incorrect URL, the title reads "You're in Unknown node type" and obviously no view appears.

How do I validate the node type and return 404 if an incorrect URL or node type is entered?

The best thing is to use the code, below to use in a argument validation plugin.

<?php
$types = node_get_types();
if ($argument) {
  return isset($types[$argument]);
}
return FALSE;
?>
