The Golden Gate Bridge is a masterpiece of engineering; if you've ever been to Fort Point on the southern end, you will see what I mean. I don't think a truck bomb with fertilizer would be enough to do the job.

Anyway, I say mount a few .50's on the bridge approaches and maybe several 25 mm cannons here and there. Along the coast on both sides of the bridge there are quite a few old bunkers and gun implacements left over from WWII; I think they would still be useful for protection of the bridge and San Francisco, if the latter is still worth protecting.

Yeah, been to Fort Point but only was outside the car about thirty seconds. It was too cold for me cuz I took the wrong clothes to San Jose in 1978. I looked at the view and jumped back into the car. I was visiting a Jr. Lieutenant who was out of Moffitt Field. He flew big old planes every day up to Seattle and back while I played house and went shopping at the mall in San Jose that a plane flew into a few years back.

Wanna bet Davis did it to "look presidential" before next year's elections? That he had federal info he was briefed on, but not supposedly to release?
