When I was a boy our town had a large oil refinery. Not a gate or fence in sight. We could enter the refinery pretty much at will, and while exotically dangerous (oil refineries are pretty dangerous things) it was perfectly legal and usually undetected, let alone reported.

Things are a lot different now, especially since 9-11.
I lived in the Baytown area for over fifty years and this is the first lockdown I’ve heard of happening at the ExxonMobil refinery.

It’s the same refinery, but the fire was not a big one.
The media likes to exaggerate these things.

Just my opinion but our refineries aren’t protected enough. I drive by them all the time. It doesn’t take much of an imagination to cause great havoc — especially for crazed people willing to die for their cause.

So perhaps someone needed to go back and try to finish the job?

Too bad our current pRESIDENT isn’t as serious about the security of our nation.

Good. If terrorists could get just a couple of somewhat sofiscated weapons into the USA (I won’t offer examples), they could cause a lot of problems. And they wouldn’t need to get through security to do it either.

True. A grenade launcher could cause a lot of problems too. It wouldn’t be very difficult to get them in with our open borders. I would prefer to see some of the roadways and areas surrounding these facilities more secure.
