>>Why would they bother with one pipeline out in the wilderness, when they could attack a pipeline hub in the lower 48 and cause vastly more damage? The USA has thousands of miles of pipelines that are easy to get to...<< Snowshoe - I don't know. I hope I don't think like a terrorist. It just seems to me that with huge amounts of natural gas flowing through a pipeline, one could imagine that relatively small bomb, or a small set of bombs at various points, could not only stop the flow of gas, but cause a huge conflagration. It would take a large effort to get the response teams in to the problem area. And it would disrupt gas supplies by taking out a line where no alternative paths exist. - Allen
