The problem at the CBBT as opposed to Dulles Airport is the vulnerability of
the installation to takeout.  It would take a huge effort to neutralize the
economic benefit of Dulles vs. the rather small effort that is easier to do
to take out the CBBT.  I think your attitude is not helpful, and your
knowledge of national security questions is woefully inadequate compared to
those with the responsibility to protect national assets.  Your attitude
toward those who labor endlessly to protect us says it all.
