There is really no easier place to attack. At our local mall you could drive a tractor tailer right to the center of the building if you wanted too.
FReepers have been writing about these kinds of attacks since 9-11. If it were at all feasible, the terrorists would have done it already.
A car can do a lot of damage, too.
On a serious note, a mall attack was one of the scenarios outlined in Jeff Head's book.
I live only a few miles from the Mall of America.
The thing I dread most is the next time a celbrity goes there to sign autographs and there’s tons of teenagers and their parents in the main rotunda area.
A towelhead could walk in and detonate a vest bomb and kill dozens of spectators in one shot. The carnage would be unbelievable.
A bomb blast like that, occurring in the heartland of America, could throw shockwaves thru this nation that we haven’t felt since 9/11. Many of us in the heartland had a disconnect of sorts from what happened on 9/11 because of the physical distance from New York and DC.
What makes it even more scary is that there are a limited number of public access points. The mall cops on their Segways are less then worthless.
