Former top government officials who have been warning Washington about the vulnerability of the nation’s largely unprotected electric grid are raising new fears that troops from the jihadist Islamic State are poised to attack the system, leading to a power crisis that could kill millions.
“Inadequate grid security, a porous U.S.-Mexico border, and fragile transmission systems make the electric grid a target for ISIS,” said Peter Pry, one of the nation’s leading experts on the grid.

They better not frick with my AC until after October.
But for real, they need to die and very soon. They will come here. I don't know if they can pull off a large scale attack again, but they will come here.

I'd like to setup book on this. Here is the proposition:
Will ISIS commit grid-jihad in the US resulting in a power outage that will last a year and kill 9 of 10 Americans?
1. Yes: +4800
2. No: -$5000

Would suck for the news channels. Largest story in history and no way to cover it

Too many rotator cuff injuries from hacking heads. They're moving on to the grid.
Oh, and put me down for $10,000 on "No."

Ever wonder why these "sneak" attacks happen in broad daylight rather than under the cloak of darkness?

That would be even worse for them than beheading a couple of Americans. You don't frick with Americas internet access!

They always say this and it never happens.

They're staying at Rex's house.

The worst part would be not being able to live post about the apocalypse.

Ted Koppel is writing a book about such things.

Just don't frick with my AC.
I can live without anything else.
Besides, they have been saying that someone would attack the power grid forever. That's not happening.
Oh, and I beat TX Tiger before he could get in here and start his shite.

If they have not upgraded it by now, we should be attacked. Our priorities are not where they should be.
Also, if you believe that this is now something to fear, you are blinded.

I wouldn't bet against this. Lets just be honest what would be the one thing that would cripple this country and bring it to its knees. People these days are totally and completely dependent on technology. If the power grid was taken down 3/4 of the people in the country wouldn't be able to function.
