 While it is legitimate to ask whether the CBBT authorities are dealing with 
other threats, I suspect it is naive just to assume that the CBBT folks haven't 
thought about any of these other avenues of attack and put some plans and 
procedures in place to deal with them, even if they are not visible or known to 
us.  Also, to some extent you can only deal with the possible in reducing 
threats.  It would of course be intolerable to stop and inspect every car, 
though this doesn't mean they don't have some plan for dealing with that issue. 
 Obviously disrupting a fairly small group of birders is a much more minor 
issue.
 
As to identifying yourself to authorities, the author assumes the goal is to 
escape the crime, since so many terrorist crimes involve the death of the 
criminal, that is simply irrelevant.
 
I still hope that we will wind up with fewer and less costly restrictions, and 
perhaps eventually get back to something closer to the old regime.  But it is 
hot, i think, helpful to whine about it.  We are much better off engaging in a 
constructive dialogue about how we can better our position without impinging on 
the goals of the Commission.

If I were going to take out the tunnel, the first thing I would do would be 
to give my name and other information to the tunnel police, and walk around 
with a pair of binoculars and a bird book.  No, wait, maybe instead I would 
load 

up a truck with explosives and drive down into it.  Or perhaps from a small 
boat I could just pass over the tunnel and drop a bomb on an anchor.  There are 
so many possibilities, none of them involving birders.
