Amtrak Fire at Beech Grove

[neroden]

Did that class you took in counter-terrorism teach you not to reveal all the security flaws at a location so as not to make it easier for people to utilize those flaws to attack that place. I don't think we needed to everything about Beech Grove and how it apparently is pretty easy to breach security.

Security by obscurity is debunked. Doesn't work, no point. Real security works even if everything is published.

I wonder if he was just your average crazy firebug or if he had specific malice towards something/one associated with the railyard.

Yeah, I don't think this guy has thousands of dollars on hand to pay for the cost of his vandalism.
