Lasrick writes "Interesting piece about April's physical attack on a power station near San Jose, California, that now looks like a dress rehearsal for future attacks: Quote: 'When U.S. officials warn about "attacks" on electric power facilities these days, the first thing that comes to mind is probably a computer hacker trying to shut the lights off in a city with malware. But a more traditional attack on a power station in California has U.S. officials puzzled and worried about the physical security of the the electrical grid--from attackers who come in with guns blazing.'"

  I just RTFA'd. Scared the hell out of me when I considered the ramifications of a co-ordinated attack,
  Made me wonder if I would be justified in taking out anyone I saw trying to attempt such a thing.
  Who the fuck made you judge, jury, and executioner? So-called "self defense" laws in the US need some serious reigning in because of whack jobs like you.
