As I said before, I work for a major railroad and we haul LP Gas among other flamables and explosives. Plus a forced derailment in a residential area...?...just freaks me out. The rail yard I work at is right in the middle of the "hood." We've had guys stabbed and shot at. Now, there's terrorists right in our backyard. It's a little disconcerting.

Anywhere in the US, the opportunity for a massive terrorist attack involving just the stuff they find already on the rail is staggering.
But even less than that -- what would terrorize the American people more than driving gaoline tankers into our schools?
And yet, it doesnt happen.

This stuff takes planning. I mean unless you want to end up like Richard Reid trying to light your shoe on a non-smoking flight.
