Stainless Steel Cylinders Seized at Mexican Border
Judicial Watch ^ | 12/04/2015

Posted on 12/16/2015 12:40:53 PM PST by Subsix

"Five young Middle Eastern men were apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol this week in an Arizona town situated about 30 miles from the Mexican border, law enforcement and other sources told Judicial Watch.

Border Patrol agents spotted the men crossing a ranch property in the vicinity of Amado, which is located about 35 miles south of Tucson and has a population of 275. Two of the Middle Eastern men were carrying stainless steel cylinders in backpacks, JW’s sources say, alarming Border Patrol officials enough to call the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for backup. A multitude of federal agents descended on the property and the two men carrying the cylinders were believed to be taken into custody by the FBI.

Only three of the men’s names were entered in the Border Patrol’s E3 reporting system, which is used by the agency to track apprehensions, detention hearings and removals of illegal immigrants. E3 also collects and transmits biographic and biometric data including fingerprints for identification and verification of individuals encountered at the border. The other two men were listed as “unknown subjects,” which is unheard of, according to a JW federal law enforcement source. “In all my years I’ve never seen that before,” a veteran federal law enforcement agent told JW."

Any news on the two men who were taken off-book along with their suspicious cargo? Media absolutely silent on this, which doesn't bode well. No followup coverage whatsoever.

...the Border Patrol said it has no record of the incident.

“The Tucson Border Patrol Sector has no records of any encounter resembling the alleged incident reported. We are still gathering confirmation from the field and other sources that nothing happened,” said the statement issued Tuesday...

Obama said we were not to be concerned.
They were just stainless steel thermos’s with coffee for their trek to America.
We can’t jump to conclusions, after all, they are just immigrants off the Mayflower.

Ha! Yea, maybe they just stopped at Dunkin’ Donuts to fill up before crossing the boarder. Maybe we should ask which way they were going - into or out of the U.S.

If people didn’t believe before that the war is truly on, this cinches it. Chemicals and biologicals are the obvious choices to carry in stainless cannisters.

If these five losers were carrying empty cylinders, then it was a dry run to see if they could pull it off. If the cylinders were NOT empty, then We the People demand to know precisely what was in them.

SS containers are not useful for transporting radiologic matter. Lead is the material of choice. SS cylinders would indicate containment for some sort of biologic agent...
