If They Can’t Stop A Drunk Holiday Reveler, They Certainly Won’t Be Looking For My Rental Truck Full Of Fertilizer And Gasoline Now, Will They?

America’s utilities and vital infrastructure are well-protected and impenetrable:

After Con Ed largely ignored NYPD pleas to beef up security at the city’s largest power plant, a drunken holiday reveler managed to break into the massive facility and stumble around for two hours in an embarrassing breach that has outraged some lawmakers.

“If they can’t stop a drunk from wandering into the site, how will they stop a well-organized terrorist?” asked Democratic Assemblyman Michael Gianaris, an outspoken critic of security at the Charles Poletti power plant, just blocks from his office.

Officials will meet tomorrow for a security sit-down at Queens Borough Hall, where they’ll hash out the incident involving the boozed-up buffoon coming from a Christmas party who somehow got past security at the energy complex on Dec. 19 at about 1 a.m.

He was confronted by a plant worker, ran away, and then wandered around the sprawling site in Astoria, the site of massive power and transmission equipment and a huge tank of highly explosive liquefied natural gas.

A security guard finally grabbed the trespassing tippler about 3 a.m.

“We’ve taken appropriate steps,” said Michael Saltzman, a spokesman for the New York Power Authority, whose security finally spotted the man and called police.
