Most likely yes, but I was thinking mostly of the home-grown troublemakers that have always been around. Somehow telecom seems to be mostly immune from them. Since there really is no practical way to secure the outside plant (and to the one that mentioned lockable manhole covers -- have a look at the "key" to those sometime, there isn't very much security there), the only thing we can do to keep it safe is to not make a big deal about where it is or what can harm it. -Bill
