That would obviously be the best tactic.
However, it’s pretty tough to successfully deny access to guys with an RPG...
It’s human nature to come up with things the victims could have supposedly done to protect themselves. Because we hate to think that we are equally vulnerable.
My office, I know, is utterly vulnerable to such an attack, and I suspect your’s is too. I bet not one Freeper in 100 has any chance at all of successfully resisting such an attack on his place of business. Three armed and trained men, body armor, RPG.
Pissed some neighbors off severely at the time of the Beslan attack when I pointed out the school our kids all went to was at least equally vulnerable. They just didn’t want to believe it.
The only effective defense is intelligence effective at alerting you to head off the attack before it hits. Had the French government known, presumably these guys would have been taken out. But they didn’t, so they weren’t.
Airport security checkpoints are among the most tightly secured spots most of us routinely come into contact with. Yet there is very little to prevent an attack of this type from storming thru the checkpoint and getting onto a plane. The security is designed to stop people from sneaking stuff on board, not to repel an assault.
Ya, RPGs and explosives make it much harder. Its not undoable but probably beyond what corps would want to pay for. Then again if you make yourself a target thinking things thru is essential. Could RPGs have been used in this instance? I dont know but the higher your profile the more likely it is youll be caught. Rifles OTOH would have been easy and that seems to be the case. Good security would have denied these guys the advantage.
