How about a volatile chemical spill, with the entire section of the starport locked down lest something cause an ignition of the spill, or an explosion of vapors. It could even just be a full-power drill, and not the real thing. It's amazing how long some qualification evaluations can take, even for laid-back and casual air- and seaports, today.

Guys,

You know, based on the varied responses to my question and the similar barrages of replies others' questions have been rewarded with, this group should (if anybody were foolish enough to volunteer to coordinate such a thing) think about generating some Traveller pubs. Heh - "101 Ways to Temporarily Disable a Parked Space Ship" comes to mind... ;-)

This stuff is great!

Thanks...
