Probably white right-wing gun owners /s

[onedoug]

Just what soetoro’s waiting for.

[SpinnerWebb]

The threat is not growing... the acknowledgement of the threat is increasing...

climbed under the road and cut AT&T fiber-optic cables, temporarily knocking out phone service.

At the risk of sounding obtuse, how would they know that's where the power station's phone service was located? Is that just public domain information?

[andyk]

I heard more from the MSM about Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus than I ever heard about this attack on our infrastructure.

[MeganC]

Naturally we need to give up some more freedoms and liberties in response to this purported threat that may not be anything more than some jerks from the FBI running another false-flag/provocateur operation.

Only is a matter of when the next attack will come. Stay Safe everyone! This is not a matter of if.

The feds have just figured this out? The US electrical grid is a century old patchwork of cobbled together systems, controlled by a piecemeal control network. An icestorm or errant tree branch can knock out power to millions,
and these people are worried about foreign sabotage. An idiot with a rifle can easily knock down a major grid section for a prolonged period. The electrical grid and power plants are way past due for major overhauls and upgrades. It’s an investment well worth making.

Imagine the havoc if they had just one RPG or planted explosives. Now consider a coordinated attack on several similar electric installations in different parts of the country...large portions of the US would be in the dark.

[Dick Bachert]

It’s a low tech/high value action just like the TORCHINGS of the tinder dry, Santa Ana wind driven fires on the left coast.
I just hope the bastards confine their activities to the areas of the country that have EARNED the honor by electing progs and p*****s to office!

Does plinking at 500 foot tall Wind Turbines with a 30-06 count?

[McGruff]

Electicity is the devils work.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Jumper cables leading from the 20,000 volt transformer to the doorknob of the facility should secure it quite nicely.

[Socon-Econ]

There is no excuse for the media’s having kept this event out of the news for so long.

[sten]

100x 2-man teams could take out all our power stations in a single 20 minute coordinated attack. replacing those quicky would be near impossible. the net effect would be similar to an emp strike

...has raised fears that the nation's power grid is vulnerable to terrorism.

Doesn't matter.

"Homeland Insecurity" cares about real things - like are the illegals who break into our country being treated with great kindness. And is the welcome mat for drug gangs large enough. You know the important stuff...

1/4" High Hard steel plate mounted properly will protect the electrical equipment from 7.62mm and .308 cartridges and below at close range....the same plate used on MRAPs and Hummers.

This is a cheap and easy fix.

There are many simple, cheap ballistic solutions available to defeat guys taking pot shots at transformers with anything up to an including Barrett .50's. Beyond that, it begins to get somewhat more involved.
