what are better ways to kill Americans? liquid bombs are puny [View All]

compared to what real terrorists could do to this country. My greatest fear is that 10 or 20 jihadists looking to go to heaven for their 72 virgins would,"go to the countryside and find some super-mega high energy transmission lines" destroying the electrical power grid that supplies electricity to tens of millions of homes,businesses, etc.
Does that sound far fetched? Think it can't be done? Remember Oceans 11? Yes that was a movie but a couple of years ago a drunk driver crashed his truck into 1 transmission line knocking it loose. Imagine for a moment
that 20 major lines were knocked out and severely damaged with estimates of repair being maybe 30 days. That would make the "blackout of 1967(?) in NYC look like boys night out (riots,2500 arrests,looting)."

it was just 3 short years ago August 14 2003 that the power went out along the Eastern seaboard knocking out power to 50,000,000 people. Fortunately most power came back within 24 hours and no real cause for what had happened was determined. How would 100,000,000 Americans act without electricity for 30 days? I'm too scared to think of the kinds of riots that would ensue. The rich would be OK in their ivory towers complete with generators but what of the average joe's and jane's?

Liquid bombs, sorry but that doesn't top 911 and for all we know about these al-queda/neocon types they need to one-up 911.

Plus, could 10 pyromaniacs set the West on fire? Or, how about CBS who last year ran a story on 60 Minutes about a Chlorine plant in the shadow of NYC (12 miles away) with the gates open and a dozen chlorine tanks (10'ft. tall) just waiting to be destroyed allowing for a cloud of gas that would be upon NYC in minutes possibly KILLING millions. I called CBS about that and chewed them out.

I bet some of you DU-er's could even top my worst fears and if so, please do.

Anyway, thanks for allowing me to post this because the liquid bombers were taking to much air time.
