Flutterby™! : Bridge threat

So yesterday California Governor Gray Davis warned of attacks on suspension bridges. This morning traffic seemed heavier than usual on the Richmond-San Rafael bridge, probably compensating for what traffic reports said was an unusually light day on the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges. We were trying to think of ways to take out suspension bridges yesterday evening, and weren't coming up with surefire methods that wouldn't currently be fairly well protected against. I mean, sure you could take out some roadway, but bringing down the bridge seems pretty tough. But what really blows me away are the people who, after that warning, avoid those bridges, presumably in favor of the other bridges. "Hey, security's tight on two of the 5 bridges that are essential to the Bay Area economy..."
