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

More like pinpointing weaknesses. sorta like libertarians sitting in the bleachers complaining that govenment sucks.

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.

That is a good point Bt. I'd say Fox (and other movie & TV studios as well as publishing companies) owe much more careful thought as to how they approach these hypothetical scenes of terrorist attacks.

Still, I'd hate to wake up and find any ideas of mine that have come to fruition, even if I were 99% sure that there was no way any terrorist would have read them on this site.
I smell something burning, hope it's just my brains.
They're only dropping peppermints and daisy-chains
   So stuff my nose with garlic
   Coat my eyes with butter
   Fill my ears with silver
   Stick my legs in plaster
   Tell me lies about Vietnam.

On the other hand, perhaps the folks at Fox hoped that just maybe a couple of the facilities managers for malls saw the show and wondered if their sites could be target hardened. Locked access, key control, vetting of maintenance personnel and vendors, etc etc etc.

>>Not at all. I simply advocate for intelligent anti-terrorism proposals ...<<

Fine. Of course what you advocate helps the terrorists, not Americans.

And what is it that I advocate? Yeah, I do know, but I'm thinking perhaps you don't.

With all the comparisons to World War II, I'd think folks would be against that.

Cute, but I don't recall having speculated on how to kill American politicians or citizens.

Who is speculating on how to kill citizens. If anything I am pointing out possible flaws and offering solutions.

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

Do you really think terrorists haven't thought of just about everything we could come up with, and more? I mentioned rail because my wife works in that industry and we talk about what could happen and what they are doing about it all the time.

This little conversation is much  less harmless that advocating the removal of intelligence gathering, claiming the war is lost, calling the president a Nazi, or leaking secret information as the left does on a daily basis.

Get a grip.

Cleverly fill a shampoo bottle with an explosive. Then go through the Homeland Security line at the airport. They will confiscate the shampoo and toss it into a barrel about ten feet away from all the waiting travelers. Then blow it up with a timer several hours later.

This will demonstrate how idiotic Homeland Security and their procedures really are.

I think we should be getting from  more experience people on this subject.
ex. a co-worker of mine is from ireland and he know most if not all possible targets .
simply from 1st hand experience.
he`s talks about power and water as targets

I suggest you go back and read this thread.

Depends on your goals. If you want to cripple infrastructure to make it difficult for the government to get you, that is something to look at.

If you want to make the general populace scared, malls and airports are the way to go.

Possibly. That doesn't take anything away from the humor of watching you speculate on how to commit acts of terrorism. If you were less self-righteous about it, that might lessen the humor, but I doubt it.

Which is a more workable solution than your ideas about the illegal immigration situation which is basically to make it legal.

hey!!
I got it
give away free contaminated salads in the streets.
since it`s vegetables nobody will believe it`s bad.
remember spinach -ecoli
people still wanted to eat it
they refuse to believe vegetables can get people sick
it even pointed out that most food poisoning is caused by vegetables than meat.
due to the fact people don`t bother washing them.
or maybe free fruits would be better
