There’s way more security at an airport than at a shopping center. Malls and grocery stores are fish in a barrel situations
The gas stations themselves have cameras all over so it would be noticeable if someone tried to lift the metal plate to access the underground fuel tank. Going upstream in the supply chain, the trucks have locked access ports on their tanks, and the drivers had to jump through hoops to get those jobs. Besides getting a CDL, the driver also had to get a Haz Mat endorsement (and Tank endorsement), which these days requires taking a separate class, passing the knowledge test, and passing a federal screening to make sure he’s not a terrorism threat. After going through that to get a decent paying job, the driver would be less likely to risk it and harder to buy off. Besides, his company monitors him. The earlier link in the supply chain is the petroleum company’s depot that fills the trucks, but that has even tighter security than the gas stations. And what would all this risk of getting caught be for? To disable some cars that can be traced to the same gas station? It would be less risky to the vandals to go to lightly monitored parking lots and pour sugar into gas tanks and stuff bananas into tail pipes.
Yes, the elites have brainstormed EMP attacks and drone attacks, but the elites don’t want to conduct false flag attacks against elites. These type of attacks would be against regular people. A powerful enough EMP would target a large area that uses electricity, and it might not need a drone to get in range. A drone would more likely be used for a smaller payload, such as an explosive or chemical weapon. In small scale attacks like these, sometimes a rifle is more efficient. Also, the main point of false flag attacks is to astroturf support for gun grabbing. A drone ban would be more complicated and less effectual.
‘A lone wolf operated a drone that emitted an electro magnetic pulse over Jeff Bezos’ super yacht, leaving it adrift for a few hours before electrical engineers got its systems operational again. Now Congress are voting on the drone EMP ban’

‘a dozen people were shot at the mall before the shooter even had to change magazines’
While this is 100% true, there is far less security that most people think. A lot of people still think TSA goons are armed law enforcement. Nope - they aren't armed* and they aren't law enforcement. There are, however Federal Air Marshals that are now part of TSA so those plainclothes people *are in fact armed.
As far as more security - I wouldn't count the regular TSA people since there really should be security to protect us from them molesting and stealing from us. There are local law enforcement usually onsite, which is probably more than in an average mall, and Air Marshals can patrol or help out in between their flights.
Don't give them any ideas.
I don't think their goal is to attack things that the government is perceived as being responsible for protecting. So, mall shooting is fine because mall security is the mall's problem. Airport security the government is responsible for.
So why school shooting then? The goal with those, to the extent the government is involved, is to drive outrage to get guns banned or restricted. But I actually think we have a lot of mentally ill kids with crappy parents, so most of those shootings are just the result of that, just like the flash mob store robberies and big fights of kids.
