In reaction to the announced boycott by the City of Los Angeles due to Arizona’s new immigration law, an official on the Arizona government’s utilities commission has threatened to cut off Los Angeles’ electricity supply.I never thought I’d live long enough to see headlines like that one.

It is not that the official is threatening to cut off the electrical supply, it is that he states that they are willing to renegotiate the contract which the DWP and the City of Los Angeles have for buying the power from plants in Arizona that they have fractional ownership of. In other words, he's calling their bluff about a boycott.
Somebody other than authorized pilots were in the cockpit? That puts terror or political assassination back at the top of the list.
