They could be gathering dust to use as digger charges, and with everyone at the tornement, there would only be a a couple people, mostly guards and students in detention, still at the school. They could, theoreticly sneak in via a basically a hole, made with Cinder's power. Well what I was thinking is that they're too smart for a full frontal attack (unless they blame it on someone else, or is a distraction).

What we do know is that:

1. They are planning their operation to take place sometime before, during, or after this tournament.

2. Their plan requires lots of Dust for general purposes and weapons.

3. The White Fang (WF) are aiding them, though what Cinder/Roman gave in return for their service is still unkown (a nation?).

With all of the effort, resources, and man hours put into this, one must wonder, What the hell is in Beacon/Vale that's this damn important? If it's "Just to send a message", then there are over a thousand ways to do the exact same thing with less resources.
