Terry, With Houston's oil refinery and chemical plant pollution, it might be decades before we discovered a dirty bomb had been set off. <G>

I am still of the opinion that terrorists need funding and they get it from oil dollars. The oil dollars are in Houston. Do they kill the hen that lays the golden eggs? Perhaps, they aren't all that brilliant. But, logically, they pick other targets.

I'll bet you Canuckistanis are happy now that nobody even knows where your country is located. <VBG>

I think the port of corpus christi is a more likely target, while not as large as the port of houston, corpus is the 5th largest u.s. port and "refinery row" thats stacked up like cord wood lies within the final approach to the airport, stands between the airport and the vor, and also lies between the holding pattern and the airport, just waiting for a plane to fall out of the sky...unlike the houston area where the refineries are spread out from texas city to freeport.
