well if you look at it from an engeneerin standpoint terrorism is easy lol. XD *please fbi dont come all the way to the netherlands to grab me XD*
explosives area as easy to make as a cake, in many a shape or form.
diezel + fertalizer ( not telling which one )
or homebrew gunpowder ( the refined kind ) with painters putty ( makes a low grade of c4 really. ) ( not telling you how to make the right kind )
id have to agree wit hthe guy above with the bridges. hehe if you know how to make a shaped charge those bridges could be gone before you know it. just get the main support arches and stuts in the middle, possibly sabotage some cables here and there. do it on a really windy day for extra effect XD.
but for my country > (netherlands) you want to go after the dikes( not lesbians, things that stop water from flooding the lot of us ) those are WAY too bady guarded. stab a drainpipe full of explosives in, light LONGASS fuse, DRIVE AWAY AT HIGH SPEED

It's actually something of a daily reflex for me. I've taken many classes about how to think like a terrorist... good ol' US Army put me on the path to becoming a paranoid delusional.
It sort of presents the same problem as this:

As a fun little game to play while you're on this thread, everyone: Guess how many posters are undercover Feds.
No, I have totally not thought about the destruction of certain members of the US senate, don't spend hours looking into their windows at night with my hand hovering over the detonation button, and don' have a group that meets on Tuesdays and won't give you a free cup of coffee for every scalp from a Congressman you bring us.
First of all, Get several hundreds of bags of marbles.
Go to a convention building where lots of people are packed in(Bonus points if there's a meeting of VIPs). Preferably in a building with requiring stairs to enter.
Station my goons at every entrance(If I was stupid/cheap enough not to hire goons, develop some sort of remote control marble spilling device.)
Pull fire alarm/ cause an actual small fire/ cause a bomb scare/ Shout that there is a sale of free bacon at the store down the road/ whatever will cause mass evacuation.
Release marbles at all exits.
Watch the ensuing chaos while doing my best Joker impression.
Later, deflect all controversy and criticism by claiming it was an performance art and questioning the intelligence of the accuser.
Live a long, illustrious but controversial career as a performance art terrorist, amassing millions of dollars and modern art fans(who I can make into my goons because those morons will lap anything up if you pretend there is a some bullshit inner meaning if you think long and hard enough after several blows to the head)
Finally meet my end getting punched up by a confused batman
Edit- By the way, OP. When the feds bust down your doors, remember that you can get some mileage from the "it's for a book" excuse but it's still a gamble as to whether they'd believe you. In fact, just say it's for NaNoWriMo in a few months time, you can get away with much more then

I'm actually an undercover terrorist. But we realised we were all too stupid to come up with our own plan, so we decided to go onto a gaming news website, go onto the forums, and then wait until a thread was made about terrorist attacks to help us brainstorm ideas.SL33TBL1ND said:
Praise Satan my plan has finally come to fruition.
well I'm probably already on some ASIO list for some of the things i have goggled, so what the heck.(I'm an Australian so screw you FBI)
my idea is to create a dirty bomb to contaminate an area upriver of the Murray or the darling river. this would then mean a large amount of farms in some of the more heavily populated states would no longer be able to user their main water supple in fear of spraying radio active material on their crops.
actual damage probably no very much other then an expensive clean up. amount of public panic and media fear. throw the roof

What would be my target?
Something small scale, like a school?
Then I would simply activate the fire alarm, stand where the students are set to assemble and use some frag grenades. Mission accomplished, exit strategy depends on the venue.
The assassination of a high-ranking member of the public?
Aquire certain proteins that regulate bodily functions, mix them with a certain set of chemicals that enables them to traverse the skin, put on a realistic-looking set of latex-skin gloves, apply solution to hands, shake targets hand, watch as he dies of "natural causes" a day/few days later.
(Note: Staying vague so as not to give anyone ideas, also, aquiring said chemicals is not easy if you aren't working in a lab that has a reason to deal with that kind of stuff9
Taking down a plane (no hijacking, simple blowing it up):
First: You need an elderly fanatic. A grandmother e.g., have her undergo hip-replacement surgery, fill her femur with plastic explosives and a special hip prothesis that doubles as a detonator, which, in turn, is activated by a remote-control disguised as an insulin-pump.
Nervousness in the elderly is usually attributed to fear of flying, and, in that specific case, can be attributed to pain as well, since he/she just had a major surgery. Then you get her a window seat, preferrably over the wing and boom goes the grandma.
Another very effective way to go, especially in an urban environment would be a so-called "suitcase nuke" or several of them. They are extremely hard to come by, but, since I am not vested in real-world black-market affairs, which I would have to be in order to become a succesful terrorist, I leave the acquisiton to you.
This suitcase nuke you place in a crowded space in a hard-to-access spot, possibly close to a famous landmark. Get far enough away and have it detonate, make sure to use both, a timer and a remote-control, whilst ensuring that you do not send threats before the act but rather take credit afterwards.
That would be my first take on this topic, maybe I come up with more later.
One more:
Detonate a powerfull EMP ins a major commerce-center and watch the global economy spiral downwards. (Recommended target: Wall Street or Silicon Valley)

Same here.. but the RAF instead... it's what we are paid to do! :/loc978 said:
It also doesn't mean I would ever do it... in fact quite the opposite! I'm more likely to stop it!
Yes. And I still have no idea why they can't do things better. The whereabouts of god knows how many politicians and other high-profile people are readily available most of the time. No matter how much security they have, if you can see their face, you can shoot it. It's not like they can't afford sniper rifles.
And nothing stops anyone from using sarin like Aum Shinrikyo. Nobody questions a paper left on the ground. There is just such ample opportunity, which leads me to believe that either territorists are a very niche group, or they're very disorganised. I think it's a combination of the two.

Sniping is not easy in any way so I understand why you'd want to avoid that. You miss the shot it just alerts everyone and your target starts running.MeChaNiZ3D said:
Steal a faster plane. Not a commercial thing. Just something really fast, a military one, or a Leer Jet from a rich **** would probably be easier.
Pack it with explosives if possible. Scream ALALALALALALALAH as you fly into the new building they're erecting next to the WTC or the pentagon or white-house.

Eh, I've tried to figure out how to assassinate high level individuals before, though those individuals were fictional. Gotta love nation-roleplay, because sometimes you really just don't want to start a war but you want that enemy leader dead.
Looking back most of my ideas were silly, like trying to transport a sniper rifle with the individual parts in plastic bags. You remove half their liver and you've got a nice storage space for things. Then you have a doctor on the other side who takes the parts out and flies out of the country the next day for some kind of business meeting. Of course, this was just to get a high powered rifle into a dictatorship with incredibly strict rules on firearms. I'm sure there was an easier way to do it.
But I haven't really thought about anything that crazy lately, I stoppled playing CNRP and nothing else I'm doing really needs me to think up crazy terrorist attacks. Now I'm busy with school and video games.

Uh, well, yeah. Part of it is again, a mystery book idea (Centered around a london detective who is trying to uncover what really happened because he believes it is "Too" perfect). But a lot of my idly ramblings have been more along the lines of "Why has this not happened?"
I mean, Airports. There are the planes, to get to which you go through half a billion xrays and whatnot. And then there is the security queue itself, hundreds of people packed into as small a space as intelligence queue design can create.
Or just trains.
Basically, I wonder why people have not just shot people on buses, trains, things like that. Its almost unstoppable, all that is required is a nutter to get hold of a pistol (And even over here in Blighty that would not be that hard) and small things like that scare people more then huge things like 9/11
I mean, what is more terrifying overall? Huge plots like 9/11 and 7/7 that get stopped? Or monthly attacks with light weaponry?
*cough*
