Assuming there will be terrorism in the future and then think 911 with
a space ship into a city from space. What do you need to worry about
the power plant for?

I could see terrorism shutting down private space ship use altogether.
It is just to dangerous to have anyone with a spaceship that is not
security cleared to the max! Only way I see out of this is some sort
of mind probe for all pilots and a very nice locked door to the fight
deck.
