If You Were a Terrorist, How Would You Attack?

[BT]

Teargas in the ventilation shafts of a suburban walmart or home depot on a saturday. Wouldn't kill anyone but it would shatter any feeling of safety. Hit five or six metropolitan areas simultaneously.

Yeah THAT'S bad.  The only thing left for them after that would be a Harold Ramis movie deal.

We didn't want you to have all the fun!

Planning terrorist attacks? No, that's all you, pal.

You act like you think the end result of a terror attack should be a high body count. It isn't. The end result should be fear.

 There may be a legitimate reason for this brainstorm , perhaps to make preparation to make such a thing less likely .


But I don't want to do it on the internet.


If the theory is that we could do a better job of finding vulnerability than Al Queda,I would hate to be the "winner".

wimp...

uhm how about peeing in a half full bottle of clorox and throw it into a vent system
and hoping it don`t blow up on you.
in a mall that will do some serious damage.
a pizza hut had this happen it was fowl.
people just don`t know how dangerous bleach is.

Now I get to watch those folks brainstorm for terrorist plots. It's funny.

I tend to agree with Prince. This is funny, not so much in the stand-up comic way, but more in the carnival sense.

anyone can easily make gunpowder. put some nails in a bucket or some contianer and a crude fuse and blooey!

If there were referees for this bizarre exercise they'd have to hit the buzzer for this one Professor, it has been done. Extreme right wingers did this to a few gay bars in Soho in the late 90's in the UK. I believe they even killed a pregnant woman walking outside.

We're speculating. You're doing your best to actually help them accomplish an attack.

Pal.

A few times in Atlanta, too. Abortion clinics and gay bars there.

Well, unfortunately, gunpowder and any damaging substance like nails, etc can cause problems. So, it is actually pretty miraculous we haven't experienced even MORE trouble.,...sigh.

Maybe they consider it cliche.

I doubt any idea posted here has not been thought of before. I think the ventilation shaft idea at a mall was on 24 last year.

[Universe Prince]

We're speculating.

Yes, on how to attempt a successful terrorist attack on American citizens.

You're doing your best to actually help them accomplish an attack.

Not at all. I simply advocate for intelligent anti-terrorism proposals rather than fearfully casting about for whatever more-government-power policy feels good.
