What's the point? Bombing this system would be unspectacular, and thus probably unlikely. Terrorists are in it for the spectacle.

Exactly. Best case, you'll kill 28 people. The other capsules will stop, and the hyperloop will be out of commission for awhile. Definitely not spectacular. They'd be better off attacking a more densely populated area. Much more hysteria...
