this is something for homeland security to watch

We are.

For the very reasons you mentioned.

Tell them to watch for a cropduster .... or 5 guys with rifles could have a field day along that highway now.

To be honest it looks like a perfect way to trap thousands in a contained area ... and fallout from Baltimore would hit DC .. (worst case scenario)

If I were a terrorist and had posession of an explosive tanker truck there are about 50 billion places in the DC/Baltimore area I'd rather blow it up than where it did.

Was actually over in Annapolis when it happened (didn't look for or notice the cloud) and just got back home, but heard about it on the radio in the car.

Actually sorta surprised at how few posts this thread has, but on the way back I was wondering how nutty people would be about hoping it was terrorism...I have to say that FR has greatly improved in this respect in the last 6-12 months; had this happened a year ago there would have been a half-dozen posters absolutely insisting it was a terror attack, and that anyone who didn't believe it was a terror attack was an AQ sympathizer (which never quite made any sense, but it did happen quite often.) Actually, I suspect most of those types (can't remember the screennames) have left FR.

Very similiar to what I posted. We do have several cities still on orange as I'm sure Sarge knows, besides airport, tankers, water, nuke plants etc. We are always worried about a 'diversion'
