#1 Wonder how long it will take the "unidentified driver" to finger the next one up the food chain?

#2 High Strength A325, A490 Bolts that have replaced rivets on structural steel are tightened to set torque requirements for reasons: to withstand repeated flexure and movement without losing their contact - friction strength (I do bridges for san diego). To think this numbnuts could loosen bolts without notice is in the fantasy realm. With what? a Torque wrench and elbow grease? lol

#3 Lets see, truck, a tag-along compressor, 100ft of 11/2 air hose, big loud impact gun....nah, would not be noticed. Stop a lot of traffic though.

#4 A couple of trucks at night, one at either end, each with a large obvious sign saying "Bridge Maintainence" and traffic cones as per usual. Put the bad guys in some accurate uniforms, add some plastic explosives to a proper subset of bolts, and there you go.

If you've got someone on the inside, be nice if he could put a fake workorder into the system, just in case the guards are awake enough to check things out.
