Interesting stats. I agree that it wouldn't take much to incite panic. Makes me think of this guy who made some government list with his ideas. He talks about how easy it is to take down communications and the electrical grid which would be enough to spiral civilization into self-destruction. Shit I hope i'm not giving you ideas! jk ..
