"Jon Wellinghoff, the chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, said last month that an attack by intruders with guns and rifles could be just as devastating as a cyber attack. A shooter "could get 200 yards away with a .22 rifle and take the whole thing out," Wellinghoff said last month at a conference sponsored by Bloomberg.

The idiocy of bureaucrats is hardly more stark. The story is about 100 rounds from a "high powered rifle" fired at close range with muted damage. Then this idiot makes this statement, and thinks we'll believe it.

He means a .223 rifle, but doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It’s .22 caliber too, right? :-)
