"If there were 10 to 20 truck drivers shot, all within a few minutes of each other in several different locations across the country what would that do to commerce? Grind to a halt!"

Good point. But for an effect of greatest magnitude, it would need to be more random. Not just in the 50 largest cities, or a particular region, but a purely random distribution of victims, so that no one feels that they are safe (like non-air-travelers and those outside of major cities felt safe after 9-11-2001.)

But for an effect of greatest magnitude, it would need to be more random. I would pick out some of the heaviest truck traveled routes. Do it on both coasts, and city and rural. With the proliferation of cell phones the coordination would be simple. With the truck drivers all on CB's I imagine traffic would grind to a halt rapidly.
