Why would they use a Hazmat truck when they can use everyday materials and an inconspicuous truck?

Aren't Hazmat trucks especially examined before entering major tunnels and bridges?

One of the objectives of the original WTC bombing was to blow up NYC's major tunnels.

Admittedly I haven't put all the pieces together but these people are (were?) planning another "something" very nasty and clearly wanted Hazmat credentials and trucks.

Ah yes, but now the element of surprise is no longer a factor. I suspect that they will now have to use a route we consider safe and familiar. After all, we are now suspicious of hazmat trucks and crop dusting planes.

Ollie North hosted a luncheon which my family attended, but I was unable to attend, sometime this past spring. My mom came over after and was visibly upset. You see, he had created a senario of possible terrorist attack with these average "safe" looking trucks.

And so we have a war. My generation will soon learn the lesson that freedom has to be fought for, it cannot be negotiated.
