Ok, so they caught four guys plotting to "blow up" the fuel pipeline that runs into NYC. Good cop work, a well earned attaboy for Homeland Security.
But now we get the overheated media "lets make a buck!" coverage. Example, "Pipeline Security A Joke" from the NY Post.
Or, "Ex-Airport Worker Plots Massive Attack On JFK" (Officials Believe Attack Could've Been Worse Than 9/11)
Uhm, no. There's two unalterable facts about pipelines. First, you can't guard them. Not a chance. They are too long, and they are too numerous. Second is that you can't "blow them up" as described in the red-hot but dead-wrong MSM reports.
The most you can do to a pipeline is put a hole in it. If it is running natural gas or gasoline you can get a dandy fire going where the hole is, but you can't ignite the whole pipeline. No oxygen in it, just fuel. The most that Abdul Bin Dumbsheisse and his merry band of idiots could do is interrupt fuel deliveries for a little while, maybe make the MSM some more money selling doom and destruction stories.
When exactly did "educate and inform" become "alarm and dishearten"? I'm starting to think journalists are a bigger problem than these moronic terrorists.
