Bollards!
Beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, the FBI and Rocket Media Group will be using a Fairfax Connector bus to film a training video. The taping, which is scheduled to last eight hours, will take place in the Reston Town Center area in front of the parking garage complex on Freedom Drive.A simulated terrorist attack during the height of the morning rush hour near a busy office/retail complex? What could possibly go wrong?
In the scene being filmed, a terrorist will plant a simulated bomb on a transit bus. The video aims to illustrate how security cameras can be used to help bring such individuals to justice.
The Town Center will remain open to the public during the filming, according to Andy Silverstein of Rocket Media Group.
Bet the bus driver and passengers would want attack prevention rather than eventual justice.
ReplyDeleteBig deal. I carry a half-digested bomb on the bus every day. I feel sorry for those downwind from me.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing as Uplands. Good thing we have all those post 9/11 cameras so after the badguys blow us (and usually themselves) to smithereens they can be scraped off the road and punished :-\
ReplyDeleteWhy don't they use a crowded RIBS bus? How about terrorists plant a thermonuclear device in one of the purple bug traps around Reston? They call into the Fairfax County police command center and give them 24 hours to release all the prisoners from Guantanamo or the bug traps go off.

ReplyDeleteNot to be gross, but given what appears to be the recently developed al-Qaeda tactic of hiding a bomb up the old wazoo, maybe they ought to trade in those security cameras for colonscopes?
