#1 More than a few years back the enviros attacked the logging industry out west. They succeeded in avoiding arrest for a time. When caught, they were severely punished. Attacks then ceased.

#2 Say Thank You Lord this kind of attacks do not appeal to Islamic mentality (not enough blood).

#3 Does the fact that this involves interstate / international commerce make this a federal crime? Or is it a guaranteed ticket to the Obama WH?

#4  Shoving bolt cutters up someone's arse would quickly solve this bad habit.

#5 I would shoot them.

#6 I'm with Whiskey Mike -- they're endangering lives by playing with systems they don't understand. Shoot them.

#7 WM, RC, shooting is too quick unless you start at the ankles and work your way up slowly.

#8 Take note how easy it is. You can't protect it all. If and when a civil war breaks out, a lot of places are going to be without. NIMBY will bite deep.

#9 Hang them from the pipeline.

#10 Well, they probably didn't go far. They must have walked to the site, since using a car would contribute to global warming.

#11 Cars? Those things that run on petroleum? (or coal or uranium)

#12 Well, if you believe that climate change is as bad as the liberals do, this sort of thing would be warranted. Heroic, even! I suppose that'll be their legal defense.

#13 Didn't Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising" (WW3) begin with an attack on pipelines in a refinery?

Its national defense infrastructure. Treat it as such. Better fences, maybe electric and some concertina. Remote monitoring. I'd pony up a couple pennies a gallon to cover operating it.

#14 Put alligators inside the fence and feed them every three days.

#15 Shoot, shovel and shut up.

#16 "..."You're not manning these things on a permanent basis. It's not viable," said Stewart Dewar, a project manager at Senstar, an Ottawa-based company that authored a 2012 white paper on pipeline security. "It's too expensive...."

Not so expensive in 2016. An integrated system of cameras, barriers, drones, satellites would be about 25% of the cost of a similar but not-as-good integrated system in 2012.
