And I thought about how easy it would be for those trucks to be loaded with explosives and how godawful damaging it would be if they blew up. And I thought about how for all the talk about making America safe the politicians don't get it. They don't or can't think outside the box. They think about themselves and wear highly colored glasses.

You want to make a terrorist statement in LA? Talk about target rich environment. I've blogged about this before. I mentioned the freeways and how easily someone with a truck could take out an overpass or connector but it never dawned on me that the electrical grid was so exposed. Even better, we're talking about the media capital of the world so if they did anything they'd get plenty of coverage.

If anything we're lucky that we haven't been hit by evil nasties. On the other hand, why should they bother? The next earthquake, and believe me we're overdue, will do the work for them. Yeah, you bad, old terrorists, just keep hanging down at the beach staring at the exposed female flesh. We all do it. Don't feel too bad. Just go with the flow and chill.
