Truckers across the nation have been asked to help find the person who delivered a package containing the deadly poison ricin to a Greenville mail center last month. The American Trucking Association told thousands of truckers in its safety network to watch for anyone acting aggressively or suspiciously, especially people displaying any kind of "attack planning characteristics."

I haven't decided whether I like your posts or not! They are very informative, yet worrisome. While your at it, could you give a fruitman update? Maybe you should put the updates in your tag line. :)

Still missing. It probably will be easier to just ping the Yemeni fruitman story followers if and and when he returns after Ramadan.

Thanks for the ping.

>> Law enforcement authorities were notified six hours after the package was found at Greenville's airport mail center, and authorities did not tell the public, postal workers or other emergency services about the poison until it was tested and positively identified a week later. <<

So they wait a whole week? And I'm suppose to trust these people with my security?

"Bump! FYI any truckers on here, please take heed!"

My Aunt is a load broker, and I talk with many over the road drivers that haul what I build to and from convention halls across the country.

Most have already been told to bolo for this and in general, took it upon themselves to be more vigilant since black Tuesday.

Truckers are generally a patriotic, America loving bunch.
