If I were a terrorist, I would target:

-cruiseships
-nuclear power plants
-planes via land
-trains
-concert/sporting events

Wouldn't you think these would be a lot easier than planes?

Scary...

Absolutely - though it would need to be in similar fashion as blowing them up as no chance for a Hijack as a response team of special ops guys would be up their butt in a heartbeat.

For obvious reasons, I wouldn't speculate publicly easy targets but you all realize how easy it would be to drum up a target list, right?

... and I heard a blurb today that the bird flu is coming

Trains: check
concerts/sporting events: check
the rest have too much security.
and don't have the same psychological effect, because in essence there is NO escape from a plane in the air.

Cruise ships can be hit pretty easily, especially in some of those caribbean ports. Just like the USS Cole
