2. What if we media blasted this to all national media?
Bizarre and disbturbing - we can only pray this is false or wrong.

But assuming the worst for the sake of safety, would dragging this info out on a wide scale help prevent this great harm from occuring?

5. I'll warn them
I'll tell them that some anonymous post on what looks like a militia-movement website says the Mossad is going to nuke Houston, with authorization from Paul Wolfowitz.

6. Just put a nuke in an uninspected container...
Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 04:16 PM by Bridget Burke
On one of the ships that sail up the Ship Channel to the Port of Houston every day. Wouldn't have to be as small as a suitcase nuke. Or--it could just be a dirty bomb.

Bonus points: The Ship Channel winds through a maze of petrochemical plants. Bhopal, anyone?

A recent Texas Monthly featured an article showing what an attack like this could do to the city. It was almost as frightening as the big picture of Laura Bush on the cover.

7. My stepdad is a longshoremen at the Port of Houston
He says tha unless the ship comes from a country on a watchlist, they really don't check them much at all. I feel safer now! (He told me this months after 9/11, and nothing has changed)

Also, I've worked temp jobs at many of the plants, and I know that if you really wanted to do something evil, it wouldn't be difficult.

11. Poppy and Babs probably won't be in Houston...
They'll either be in Crawford or Kennebunkport or somewhere.
