The problem with drilling is, you have a bore hole connecting your cavern to the surface. And the bad actor potentially does not care about being noticed.

What kind of events could occur that would make it a problem? >And the bad actor potentially does not care about being noticed. Presumably this hypothetical hole in the ground would be in someplace like the US or Western Europe, under government control, and relatively heavily guarded. In that context, if a bad actor truly doesn't care about being noticed, we probably have bigger problems to worry about, like the collapse of modern civilization.

I find your trust in the stability of the US or Western Europe for the next few hundred millennia surprising.
- himinlomax 7y agoYou don't need to worry about government stability when you bury stuff under 2km of dirt. Any group with the ability to drill that deep would have the means to do serious damage whether they do indeed drill or not.
- himinlomax 7y agoWe're talking about covering the stuff with a concrete plug, and then 2 km of dirt. There is no bore hole left. Drilling back in the same spot may be marginally easier than drilling the original hole, but it's still drilling a 2km hole.
