I read in the news that the Saudis had booby trapped their own oil infrastructure - basically as a deterrent to prevent a hostile takeover. I presume that Chavez will have taken similar precautions.

I'd not seen that article back in May; funny, I've always assumed that the ideal terrorist attack on Saudi Arabia would include the use of radioactive dirty bombs. Perhaps the Saudis have obliged by installing the devices themselves... only one wonders if another party might one day pull the trigger against their will.

Too much Tom Clancy? Or not enough?
