This is pretty much a non issue since the crime requires locality and it’s really no different from vandalizing equipment, just with much steeper consequences.

This is pretty much a non issue since the crime requires locality and it’s really no different from vandalizing equipment, just with much steeper consequences. For example, sometimes kids shine laser pointers at helicopters. They get arrested for it. This crime would require a much more sophisticated attack than that which makes it a bit too difficult for a bored teen. Also the consequences aren’t disastrous enough for a terrorist. I wish people would take into consideration the intentions of an attacker when publishing risk assessments.
