Terrorism Averted In Alabama, Who Will Be Attacked Next?

[EdwinAMartin]

If this damn in Alabama was targeted, what about the big ones like Hoover?

Hoover has 24/7 security, both re vehicles and tourist visitors. That's been in place since the late 1990's.

Lucky for you America had a high level of violence to sweep through Europe in World War 2, to save your butts, along with other European countries.

Secondly, do you have even the foggiest idea what is happening with Iran, and Islam in general ? Being from England you ought to know ), or maybe you're one of the Islamist loons.

Louise is an islamist loon.

Some years ago, I was a security supervisor at an infrastructure that had huge security issues (don't want to be too specific so as to not provide a guidebook for terrorists). Suffice it to say this place had potential for thousands of people to get killed if attacked by terrorists. The overall synopsis is that security there was a joke. The site was completely vulnerable to attack. It was surrounded by an ordinary chain link fence, with a gate closed up with an ordinary chain & padlock. One security guard, UNARMED, paid barely above minimum wage, was present.

I kinda know the feeling. One job I held we knew of a critical vulnerability between two buildings where if someone had just climbed down a manhole cover in the street, they could have taken out about 25% of the entire communications network for the entire country.

They, much like your place with the fence and guard relies on people's ignorance and the illusion of commonality. By placing a chain link fence around your area, it protected itself by just looking like one of a thousand other common business installations, and though your security guard was useless, his real job there was to /look/ intimidating, on the assumption that most people would see the guard and just assume the worst, whereas had they installed truly high security fences, cameras and armed guards, the place would have been a plain giveaway as having something truly important and valuable there.

Still, in the case of a damn, the value and importance of the place is obvious, and there needs to be both a way of keeping people out as well as detecting someone immediately trying to enter the area unauthorized.

It should be impossible to gain access to the actual structure of a damn. Gates, fences, security cameras, guards. And if someone is buzzing around near the damn, they should be alerted immediately and have search lights and guards with high powered rifles. It blows my mind that such a thing came be not only placed there undetected, but only discovered accidentally.

What ******* post-apocalyptic world exists inside your head?

Divers under water making inspections and repairs to a damn in Alabama which supplies all of the water to Mobile Alabama holding some 17 billion gallons of water just discovered a bomb planted there, apparently set by someone intending to blow the entire damn up.

The explosive device has been removed and detonated safely as the FBI and other agencies are brought in to investigate. The Alabama damn was a part of critical federal infrastructure. I have been expecting stuff like this and authorities need to inspect all critical infrastructure like damns, bridges, power stations and plants, key buildings and the like. My gut tells me this isn't the only thing out there and that enemies of this country, both without like Iran, China, etc., and within like the radicalized violent, crazy far-left, could both be working together on efforts to attack this country.

Time to key up security big time both now and going into the future.

There was a greater threat to Mobile's waterways on Tuesday than zebra mussels.

Do any of you hysterical ninnies know what a grenade would do to a dam? Not a "dam" thing!

Someone was probably trying to fish with it!
