There’s a fourth option: intentional vandalism that isn’t terrorism, like the fire on the USS Miami.

- csilverman 6y agoYeah, arbitrary vandalism was the first option I considered. Can't rule it out, although whoever did this seems to have shown more caution/coordination than you'd expect from a couple of drunk idiots taking potshots at street signs.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 6y agoNot drunk idiots, an insider. Compare e.g. the incident where a disgruntled worker decided to flood an area with raw sewage through false radio commands (https://www.mitre.org/sites/default/files/pdf/08_1145.pdf https://www.mitre.org/sites/default/files/pdf/08_1145.pdf)

Maybe someone who had raised concerns about security and wanted to prove himself correct, or just someone with a boss they disliked who wanted to make trouble.
- Sevrene 6y agoOh wow, that's my local area and I had never heard of this. Thanks for posting. Makes you wonder what happens that doesn't get discovered.
