Mostly safe, not counting the explosions, and gas leaks, and vandalized equipment. Although I would dread anyone actually seeking to damage any of the infrastructure so as to cause a leak, I am wondering how the line is being more tamper proofed than the old line. As people should be aware that the lines intersect a variety of areas and are to my knowledge not monitored. I would hope these digs are not the full extent of security along these lines. The idea of not actively monitoring and having a policy of fixing things once they break, may be somewhat acceptable for gas, aside form the explosions and loss of heating, with liquid oil product, if an accident happens, it won't get cleaned up fully, ever, nor will anyone be compensated for their losses of access to a not completely devastated environment, this excepting the incredibly lax controls on water quality in that area to begin with, due to sewage and industry that has polluted the area in the past. Why is it so hard to consult?
