Americans seem to be the most worried about suicide bombings out of anybody else, yet America has probably seen the least suicide bombings per capita of any country in the world.
Not that I approve of many of the things we do to "prevent" them, but...
Perhaps worrying about preventing certain things sometimes actually helps reduce them?
I'd agree in some cases, but realistically there isn't much you can do against people using bombs to blow up bridges - or in this case, hyperloop pylons. It's just not something that you can 'design around'. Designing the pylons to survive if one is blown up? If someone can put a bomb on one pylon, he can put 5 bombs on 5 pylons. Or under 5 cars.
Spending your time trying to prevent that kind of thing is futile and an enormous waste of resources. See: TSA
