#3  Too true Moose. I recall thinking on the afternoon of 9/11/01 exactly how easy it would be to do this to the large city where I live.

Even worse, you could do this with no immediate loss of life, but "neutralize" or otherwise make life very difficult if not wholly uninhabitable for a pretty lengthy period.

Is it too much to hope that DOD has all these plans shelved alongside the invasion maps for Canada, Belize, Antarctica and the Moon?

#2  I'm a firm believer in more conventional sabotage operations. I was once assured by an EOD NCO that he and his companions had a standing wager for the theoretical neutralization of a major metropolitan area with under $500 worth of "homemade" explosives.

They would select a random target city in the world, then scheme how they could grind it to a halt on a budget, by taking out key parts with small amounts of explosive.

There was a very good reason for them to do this wager, as they figured that others could reach the same conclusions in an educated sabotage operation, and that they, the EOD, would be tasked with neutralizing that threat.
