    Don't worry so hard about terrorist attacks on water supply.
    We're doing a better job with fracking than the terrorists ever could. The best/worst a terrorist would ever manage is to take a crap in a reservoir.

    Aside from the ecological, macroeconomic, and budgetary pitfalls of relying on bottled water - plus the effect of plastic on your own health - over municipally-purified water:

    *Quite a lot of bottled water is merely bottled tap water, which means the source is exactly the same

    *Even if the source is some spring somewhere, consider that the vast aquifers, reservoirs, and groundwater beds of the US of A are magnitudes of order vaster and more dispersed than the sources for 'higher-end' bottled water
    ***Meaning that they are less vulnerable to everything and anything that a terrorist could bring to bear

    *The supply chains of bottled water corporations are more vulnerable to sustained terrorist assault than those of the weightiest state in the world
    ***The government keeps many billions of gallons of clean water on stock in case of emergencies

    Bottom line: A terrorist starting forest fires is literally the worst thing that could happen to this country by terrorism, short of widespread deployment of NBC.
