Unfortunately there are many infrastructures that are vulnerable to attacks. Such facilities as water plants, dams, bridges, transportation, pipelines, hospitals, and a host of others. But I believe that mapping them can also help. If you go back to the idea that "security through obscurity" I think you'll find that it is just an illusion. BTW - those caught and charged with damaging a power substation here were looking to rob some stores. We all assumed it was right wing radicals.
