Low yield nuclear fission devices do not seem to be useful in Washington DC. The reason is that the buildings are made of marble/stone and spaced by miles. Even if you detonated a low-yield device at Lincoln Memorial, the impact of a 1-2 kt weapon would be minimal at the Pentagon or Capitol Hill. So, I doubt that an enemy would use such devices there. The use of such a horrible weapon would need to be likely to deal a lethal first-strike attack.

Keep in mind that these low-lifes have at least a rudimentary understanding of American culture and lifestyle. At this time of the year, outside of sporting events like I posted above, they KNOW that the average American is at the mall.

I'd strongly suggest looking at the larger malls and shopping areas in each of those areas (Tyson's Corner or Potomac Mills in Washington, Paramus Park in North Jersey, Fifth Avenue/Park Avenue in Manhattan, Woodfield Mall or Michigan Avenue in Chicago). If they are looking for maximum collateral damage, those areas would be serious targets in each of those metro areas. There are other potential targets for sure, but don't forget - they are not only interested in damaging out command/control structure, but to cause maximum panic and fear among the populace as well.

One other area that would be attractive would be the airports themselves. JFK, Dulles, O'Hare, LAX (not to mention Hartsfield & DFW) will all be full of passengers, both foreign and domestic, originating, terminating and transitioning their trips in these gateway cities. A device placed within one of the terminals at any of these airports will accomplish their task just as readily and with significant loss of life as well.

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that You are Sovereign ... that there is nothing that escapes Your view ... that all things work together for good, for those who love the Lord. Thank You for the comfort of Your words, for they explain what we cannot. We are in the midst of chilling days within our country, and abroad, and we are anxious, O God, for we are fearful that death and destruction may be upon us.

By the Power of the Holy Spirit, impress upon our hearts that our fears belong before the Throne of Grace ... "Cast your burdens on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved." Psalm 55:22 ~ Thank You, Creator God, that we can know that we are secure in You, even when we are secure no where else.

"When I am afraid, I put my trust in thee." Psalm 56:3 ~ Thank You, Lord of Hosts, that we have sanctuary with You and that we need not fear, for You are King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Merciful Father, we pray that Your mighty hand would hold back any and all attempts to slay our beloved countrymen and innocent people across the globe. So few with evil intent can hold multitudes in fear, but greater are You who is in us, than he that is in the world. We call upon this Heavenly Power to protect the people, to defend us, to turn back the tide of murderous abandon. Bring many to Your blessed self in these perilous times, for You are not willing that any should perish.

Of ourselves, Lord, we are so insufficient ... with You, Lord, we are more than conquerors. Disarm the enemy, that we might go forth again in peace and safety ... that we might continue to remain in freedom, not just for ourselves, but for our brothers and sisters throughout the world. Protect those who protect us, for surely this battle is spiritual. May we be graced with wisdom and discernment as we become protectors and defenders where we are. You have blessed America, O Lord ... and we thank You. We hunger and thirst that this freedom continues to bless us in our beloved country, and that it extends to all nations. May it be thus, Heavenly Father, may it be thus, in the name of Jesus, Amen ...

Woodfield Mall or Michigan Avenue in Chicago). If they are looking for maximum collateral damage, those areas would be serious targets in each of those metro areas

I will address what I know and go for Woodfield and Michigan AV.I avoid malls like plague since my daughter was nearly kidnapped at Woodfield.

Woodfield use to be sparsely guarded with ineffectual rent-a-cops. It is enormous with many places to plant a device. It has a wide open center that would collapse the entire mall and it is huge. This made me think of The Galleria in LA and the mall in Minnesota and don't you have the biggest one in Atlanta? Also Woodfield as hundreds of businesses surrounding it for miles. Not far from O'Hare and right by highways. Many places to hide with a remote detonator.

We all know how I feel about the security surrounding O'Hare and the SAM's that could be used.

Michigan Av. - rich folks, elite and hi-brow. The magnificent mile is wide open though not a tight corridor. But stores run exactly next to one another. Many historical landmarks and alot of glass.

Our tight corridor like Manhattan is wide, in between State Street and the River to the west. Which Sears Tower is smack in the middle of and the Chicago Board Exchange. Union Station is not far to the west. In regards to Sears, a personal story. My Mom was working across the street as it was being built and worker's were dying. She loathed with a passion , tall buildings, dreaded skyscrapers (your point about this is well taken).One day ,she always had the radio on getting ready for work. She heard there was an explosion from a gas leak and her building was destroyed. The close proximity to all commerce is that area.

This is not far from Daley Plaza and the fire that took place across the street and the Illinois State building, which is all glass and built like our prison., west of this is where our tight corrider begins.

Many professionals now live downtown, where as in the 60's-70's it was unheard of. Many live in Sears Tower. Sears was supposedly a target on 911 and due to it now has cement blocks, as do all federal buildings downtown.

I hope this helps anyone living here but unaware of details.
