Human nature provides security. Most healthy humans will not do this type of stuff.
And bad guys are notorious for being idiots.

A crew of 12 or less with a handful of gas bucksaws can shut the east coast/west coast rail transit down, and the result will be the entire north american rail system to be shut down until every inch of track is inspected. A couple dozen pounds of tannerite and a handful of people can take out enough towercoms that no shelter in the US can be entered without being cleared first. This attack, whether or not it was directed at att or not puts the onus where it belongs again, on the service provider. The post morten will develop new best practices. 9/11 was low tech. Oklahoma city was low tech. We didnt defeat the British with high tech. Low tech will always be the biggest of threats. A little bit of publicly available info combined with a little industry knowledge and a motivated guy can wreak a whole lot of havoc and a group of motivated individuals can shut down a nation.

What happened in Nashville has actually been a concern of mine for some time. Look at 9/11. Huge loss of life yes. But that took a lot of effort and planning and getting through security and learning to basically fly a massive tin projectile. How much more damage could a small group do with 5 or 6 vans loaded with explosives in a coordinated attack on say: NYC, 401N Broad, Ashburn, St Louis, Chicago and San Jose? Throw in a few major CO switching offices in some major towns. You’ve caused mass disaster. Minimal planning. And now with 911 services out and data crippled you could do something else even more major. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
