I have a very ominous feeling that a major bridge is going to be the next target of a truck bomb. There are six or seven important bridges in the San Francisco Bay Area, and any one of them would cause a traffic nightmare if it were to collapse, not to mention the loss of life.

If you follow their recent modus operandi, the plan will likely involve several trucks, well spaced out, set to go off nearly simultanously.

Are there any high-population areas that only have one bridge to the mainland? I want to say North Carolina has one such area, and perhaps Galveston Island in Texas, but are there others? They could take out a bridge and carry out other attacks on the island with fire and rescue personnel unable to get to the island in time.

You know, when you stop and think about it, there are all sorts of ways to hit us. That's part of the problem of being an open, and geographically huge, country.

Remember Corpus Christi, TX. lost it's bridge while the WTC was still fresh news. Some kind of barge accident. It is the only bridge out to Padre Island I think. (Don't remember fo sure.)

Be a lot less effort to round up the f***kers and deport them and don't issue any more visas for awhile!
