    the drag show is an interesting distraction from the infrastructure attack. wonder how many more will coincide with something similar to pull our attention and action away from the serious issues. kind of like Musk companies being attacked to distract from the twitter reveals... "old news", etc.

    Evidently 5 different substations were attacked in November.

    Are these in NC or others in the PNW I've seen references to?

    I did not see any discussion about the curfew. Is that normal in civilized society to lock up law-abiding citizen? Or does it just happen in oppressive leftist areas with overreaching government officials? How far left is that area of NC? I thought NC was a red state, not a blue one. This seems troubling to me.

    OTOH: Some substations have been hacked, some vandalized physically. Is this a trial run? Should we be wary of a global shutdown soon?

    Right or wrong, curfews are often used in disaster areas or during extended power outages.

    Before I retired, I had a conversation with our chief of physical security. I pointed out that there was one conduit running across the roof of a public parking garage, accessible to anyone who wanted to drive in during business hours, that, if cut, would kill the networks of dozens of federal agencies in Houston and take a very long time to repair, if the cutter knew what he was doing.

    The chief told me to keep it to myself.

    I never realized security through obscurity was a valid strategy for protecting physical infrastructure. Apparently so.
    If it doesn't seem worth protecting is it worth attacking?

    As a former strike leader and planner, I could not agree more=some knowledge is just dangerous and should not be shared
    I strongly disagree.

    Kinda along the lines of I don't think it is a valid reason to ban guns, explosives or other knowledge that "could be dangerous".

    It would be...if the bad guys knew it was there. I mean you could literally drive into the public parking garage, stand up in the bed of your pickup, and swipe through a 6-inch conduit in two places and kill God knows how much federal infrastructure in Houston. To me, that's crazy. I would enclose that stuff in alarmed box so that if anyone tried anything, the guards would have time to get there before the damage was done.

    But that's just me.
