Rail transportation certainly could become a method for delivering a terrorist chemical attack, given the extent to which dangerous chemicals travel along America's railroads.

However, what I fear as a potential target of terrorist attack is America's primary truck stops.

Ever been to a large truck stop? Most of 'em have 100 to 500 trucks, many with dangerous cargo, camped in lots overnight. Were several key truckstops taken out by terrorist explosives I think the effects would be devestating, perhaps even crippling the U.S. economy as its supply delivery system would become severely constrained.

For sure, such an action would certainly rile the Teamsters! What would they do? For that matter, what would you do? And what would be America's response?
