That's my worry. After everything i've read in the last 10 days, part of it courtesy of this great thread & also stuff you culled, scott, I feel our nuclear facilities and the containment pools (just sitting there unprotected) are our greatest danger. A bomb or small plane could release chernobyl style radiation. And that makes me extremely worried about any major city--in the northeast, midwest, and the west. Including NYC

our transportation system is clearly a target some more places to protect SF Golden Gate Bridge Oakland Bay Bridge NYC GeoWashington Brooklyn Bridge Boston Tobin Chicago Skyway Tampa Bay Bridge and 25 others imagine people too scared to drive across a bridge !!! on DDay, we heard of Holland and Lincoln Tunnels closed what of Boston's Callahan and the Other tunnel? we are vulnerable to an astonishing level it boggles my mind how we build with no regard to risk the protection of our many critical arteries, landmarks, water systems, chemical plants, oil refineries, nuclear plants will cost money I heard it called a tax when referring to airlines it is a tax anywhere, a passed-on cost to protect and this will slow our entire economy further a tax with no productivity benefit (except not being destroyed) I hope Pandora's Box closes but I doubt it will, not after our military strikes hard for first time, I know a young soldier heading to sea a tough kid in Mass who finished first in survival training amphibious unit / Jim
