You still have to get it here by tankers. It's still venerable to Terrorists and evil third world countries.

and oil, tankers & piplines aren't?

LNG is a nearly frozen, slushy liquid, not under any pressure. Furthermore natural gas only combusted under a very narrow range of temperature and oxygen mix. This is why it is some times hard to light your stove. Same thing applies to propane, but not as much. Anyways, you could fire 10 RPGs into a tanker and the mass of frozen LNG would suck them up like nothing. I don't think even in experiment anyone has been able to get a LNG tank to blow up. I don't even know if they have been able to split and spill a tank and get the spilt slush to cook off.

The questions which occur to me are:
Would a tanker of LNG in an American harbor make an attractive target for terrorists?
How hard would it be to rupture the container(s) with explosives?
What kind of damage might we expect from such an attack?
