------------------------------------------------
The facts come home to roost: On January 8th, 2002, San Juan Capistrano (CA) police arrested a man who had threatened to shoot up the San Onofre Nuclear Power Station and his former coworkers etc. at the plant.
He had an arsenal of almost 300 weapons, including illegal assault rifles, 5,000 rounds of ammunition, an antitank rocket launcher, four live hand grenades, tear gas, survivalist material, etc. etc..
Are you scared yet? Now, you folks in the media seem to no longer be reporting that he threatened the plant -- but where do you expect him to go to find all those coworkers he was threatening? And considering that the nuclear industry believes a meltdown is no big deal beyond the perimeter fence, it is ABSOLUTELY ASSURED that this perpetrator had NO IDEA how much death and destruction he could really create with his weapons.
The man was 43 years old, a former maintenance worker at the plant. He was fired in December, 2001, after 17 years. He had previously had access to nuclear area, but it was revoked in 1995 and "never restored". So he knew exactly where to go and how to get there
