I'm sure that the fine folks over at the Dept. of Homeland Security take these things into consideration, but two events which took place on different coasts seem to point out just how vulnerable is our national infrastructure.

In New York a homeless man sets a fire and disrupts the subway system, for what could be months. Thousands of people have their commutes disrupted and this will, no doubt, cost a few million bucks to repair.

In California, we have a man who decides at the last minute not to go through with a suicide attempt, but leaves his SUV parked on the railroad tracks nonetheless. Perhaps a dozen people have been killed and many more injured, some seriously. This too will disrupt the transportation system at least for several days and also cost a great deal of money to repair.

As I said in the beginning, this is probably not news to anyone but with all the billions of dollars this administration has spent on 'national security', it seems that two guys did a pretty good job of creating havoc by accident.
