Sorry, meant to say it was planned in advance. Misspoke and didn’t mean to mislead.
After 9/11 most TVA power plants beefed up security. TVA at one point had it's own security force which were certified officers. IIRC a bunch of them got axed a few years back.
A TVA Officer did catch some foreign nationals looking around Norris Dam at about 3:00 am right after 9/11. The NCIC checks system's computer was down but he till took their ID and plates number. When the files came up their VISA's were expired and were arrested that afternoon at a local mall.
Ten years ago I'd see plenty of TVA security vehicles in my area. Today I don't even see them that often around the dams.
