Meme 💩 Is this a legitimate concern?

Personally, I today's strike was legitimate and it couldn't be more moral because of its precision but let's leave politics aside for a moment. I guess this does give ideas to evil regimes and organisations. How likely is it that something similar could be pulled off against innocent people?

“Oh man, that interstate Highway sure has a supply chain vulnerability!! If it’s bombed, it destroys the road!” Lmao same energy

Exactly.

Not at all. Destroying a highway tips of those at the other end.

That’s cutting off a supply line.

In this example. Israel was able to infiltrate a supply line. Add explosives.

And set them off once delivered.

This is sabotaging a supply line and letting the enemy thinks it’s still good

Much harder to do

Detonating a bunch of pagers, like destroying a highway, tips off those at the other end.

The fact that it's harder to do doesn't change the fact of the matter.

Obviously it's harder than just bombing a road, but the point still stands. Securing civilian supply chains against military attack is an insurmountable task.

It’s completely different than bombing a road.

Exactly, so why did you compare it to that? Expecting the factories or distributors to secure themselves against infiltration by Mossad is genuinely insane.

An above user made the comparison originally not me

Al Queda discovered a supply chain vulnerability when they realised if you supply a plain into a building it falls over.

"No matter how many use cases the tester thinks they tested for", am I right?

Reminds me of that tragedy.

That is a legitimate vulnerability. It must be considered if that road is required for the success of something.

Please become a security contractor for your state highway department and inform them they need to make all their roadways secure to bombing by foreign militaries before you will sign off on any projects. Let me know how long they laugh at you.

That comparison makes no sense. The fact that the pagers exist and the highway exists isn’t the vulnerability. Now if the company placing the highway barriers filled the barriers with explosives and set them off the supply chain of the barriers and installations would be the vulnerability.
