Police are hunting for vandals who chopped fiber-optic cables and killed landlines, cell phones and Internet service for tens of thousands of people in Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and San Benito counties on Thursday.

The full extent of the havoc might not be known for days, emergency officials said as they finished repairing the damage late Thursday.

Give me a few dollars and 24 hours and I'll shut down every major airport on the east coast. ....or just give me a week and it can be done for free.
People just don't realize how open to terrorist attack we are. Torture is a mild solution/prevention method.
