   Infiltrator/spy.

   CAN happen.

   NOT so likely at yer local water plant though.

   Bigger facilities, maybe yes. Nobody knows all
   their co-workers, people coming and going all
   the time. Shit, you could probably run a hardwire
   in from next door and nobody would notice anything
   unusual. Jihad Jamal dressed like the FedEx guy.

   I'm more worried about industrial facilities -
   chem plants, refineries, power plants - things
   that can go BOOM.
