Exactly. The annoying thing is the threat of a terminal dump can actually work - I want to object but forcing a huge amount of people to miss work and seeing loved ones, etc., is not worth it. Kind of like if he said "I will rip up this original Monet if you leave the area." Unfortunately, I might pause.

One day somebody should call the bluff though.
