You know, the hurricane didn't cause the damage to New Orleans, it was the break of the levee (or the equivalent of a levee). So if there had never been a hurricane, couldn't the same disaster have been caused by one single bomb placed along the levee? After all, the possibility of the city being destroyed by a levee break was widely known. And wouldn't the casualty count been greater if the break had come without warning?
Are there other parts of our country equally susceptible to such damage at the hands of one bomb?

Sure there are other parts of the country equally or more susceptable. Our nuclear power plants. Our munitions plants, our chemical weapons depots are all good targets. All the semiconductor facilities are prime targets along with our National Labs. We are very vulnerable. We can't possibly have everything guarded all the time. That is why we have the threat levels that everyone things are so riduculous. If you were living in Pine Bluff Arkansas where the Chemical Arsenal is you would take them a lot more seriously than people do here. The same people that scream so loud that something should have been done to prevent 9-11 are the same ones that rankle so badly at being searched when they have to get on an airplane. I agree the search isn't a good fix but if knowing they will be searched deters even one terrorist then I for one am more than willing to put up with the inconvenience
Don't forget the Dams. If one of them goes a lot of people will be swimming with the fish.
You saw what the guy did in OKC, and he had just a little help and not much money.
As far as the searches, it’s fine on airplanes but what point is it at football stadiums? Sure it keeps small weapons out but that hasn't been a problem, and if someone wants to get something in they will.
I also don't understand Airports. You go through a detailed check outside the gates but once you’re back there you have all the shops and restaurants in the secure area. Are you telling me that none of those restaurants have knifes and all their employees have gone through a thorough security check.
