The first thing I thought about as well is that this, believe it or not,
does have some regional (if not national) security implications.

That being said, I doubt any random wannabe-terrorist would have the
fortitude (or survival skills) needed to get up there. If it took a Snow-Cat
to remove the people in the observatory, I would imagine it took similar
transportation to get to the transmitter building. Wouldn't that rule out
arson for the most part?
