The guy in San Bernardino had an engineering degree. The Paris mastermind was from an upper middle class family and went to an elite prep school. The only surviving member of the original Al Quaeda ruling triumvirate is a medical doctor. Don't underestimate these guys.
To the OP, I don't know what kind of security the ORCS has. Some, I image. It would take a metric shite ton of explosives to do any significant damage, which would be hard to get to such a remote location without someone noticing. I guess the other strategy would be to get into the control room somehow, but that would be significantly more difficult, and they'd have to actually know what levers to pull. Again, someone trying to research that would set off some alarm bells, or should.

I was thinking while I was driving by all the bonfires being built on the levee...that would be the perfect cover for planting explosives.

you would think someone who pledges allegiance to ISIS would garner a second look as well, but the female San Bernardino shooter never even raised an eye brow.
OF course, if its a white male US citizen who starts inquiring about the ORCS or its operation, I am confident 24 hour surveillance and satellite tracking will be used to investigate the likely terrorist and take him down.

Flying a couple of planes into it would do the trick, unfortunately.

There's probably a sleeper cell living in Louisiana right now. Been here since about 2011 or 2012 I'd guess. That was the last time anyone was concerned about flooding and the first time ORCS made into the public eye. AL Queda then sent operatives here with intrusions to lay low and live a normal life until the next time the River was in danger of flooding. Then he is to strike while the Old River Control System is already under enormous stress and would require the least amount of explosives to destroy.

Stupid question..... How would/does the opening of the Morganza Spillway affect the crawfish farms and their pricing?
Before you call people stupid, you should get a better understanding where crawfish come from.
It would sure make me a hell of a lot more money. Our ponds are in rice fields

I'm shocked that terrorists haven't tried to attack ORCS yet.

They probably got invited got invited to a crawfish boil, tried some cajun cooking, and decided that Allah can suck a big dick.

How is that silly? The stakes couldn't be higher. The economies of New Orleans and Baton Rouge would be decimated and the nation would be cut off from probably trillions of dollars of critical plant infrastructure which would be a national security issue. You underestimate how important it is to the country that the Mississippi keep flowing where it flows now.
I don't underestimate anything. I know the importance. The thought of having "20,000 barges" just sitting around ready to sink to try to save it is silly.
It the structure ever fails it will take much more than barges to try to reverse it. It would take decades and tens of billions of dollars IF it could even be done. And that is a big IF.

Must be a picture of Baton Rouge?

Ok that's enough Cooter. Don't you have some homework to do?
