Sandy’s Teachable Moment

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. The only upside from Hurricane Sandy may be that it is a teachable moment. The millions thrust into the dark for protracted periods offer a chance to study closely how the United States – and particularly urban centers – fare without electricity. It won’t be pretty. In short order, food, water, sewage, transportation, medical care and access to bank accounts are going to be problems. As winter weather descends and people in high-rises struggle with the cold and stairs, lives may be in jeopardy. A lot depends on how long the power is off. The point is that enemies could attack our electrical grid and shut it down for a year or more. The lesson of Sandy is that we need to make a priority of reducing our vulnerability to electromagnetic and cyber strikes. And we need to do it now.
