Re: Disaster planning

Dear Mark:

How about:

1.  Terrorists steal a shipment of smoke detectors & threaten to throw them
into Warragamba Dam, thereby holding the water supply of Sydney to
ransom....the week before the Sydney Olympics.

You & I know this isn't a problem, but how do you convince Joe Public it's
safe to drink the water?

2.  Greenies find a vehicle with radiation warning signs on it parked in a
"Nuclear Free" Zone & torch it.  Vehicle contained a soil density gauge
used in road construction - honest worker was simply preparing for an early
morning drive direct to work-site.
(I understand from reliable sources that this has actually happened more
than once in Sydney.)

3.  Or: Russian space vehicle powered by plutonium may crash into Sydney in
the nexy 48 hours.....
