Its an 80 year old Amish Quaker woman with a water bottle. Those are the worst kind.

I wonder how they arrived here.

Probably legally like Tim McVeigh, or Muhammed Atta, the original WTC bombers, or that lily white CITIZEN Andrew Speaker with TB terrorizing the skies, or the ex-military DC Sniper, or the Cho sunhui kid at VaTech....or any number of totally LEGAL ways to get into this country.

If you're a petty criminal, you do stupid things like rob convenience stores--maximum risk, minimal payoff.

If you're a diabolical terrorist, capable of detonating suitcase nukes or destroying the WTC, you DO NOT risk being an undocumented flake. You merely get a legal tourist visa, fly into the country on American Airlines and check your suitcase nuke.

Let's spend all our money on a border fence and ignore the fact that super-badguys will always get in, and are already here legally anyway.

And don’t forget the part where he’ll blame it all on not enough gun regulation.

I went through JFK on Monday. I reported that a laptop was unattended to two TSA “officials” who told me that it was nothing. I then reported it to another “official” who took it a bit more seriously, and eventually someone claimed it.The unattended laptop remained on the table with no one confiscating it.My complaint was handled very unprofessionally.Are these jobs now given to people who can’t be clerks at Whole Foods?I did not feel safe,especially after seeing who has these jobs.

I wonder how many illegal immigrants were involved.
(I presume they still will get their Z-visas)

"...are already here legally anyway."

And many have been elected to congress.

Now slightly updated:

NEW YORK — According to NewsChannel4’s Jonathan Dienst, sources said federal investigators have made arrests in an alleged terror plot on Kennedy Airport.

Four people have been charged. One is in custody in New York.

Sources said the plot involved a plan to blow up a jet-fuel pipeline at JFK setting off a potential massive explosion.

Law enforcement officials said the plot may involved a former airport worker.

A press conference is scheduled for 1 p.m. this afternoon.

Formerly on a work visa by any chance?

This is not true, it must be “insurgents” as there are no terrorists.

Here come the distractions to keep us from thinking about illegal immigration...timing is everything...

Your tinfoil hat is not tight enough. If you insist upon using the "conspiracy" theory route, at least make it a good one.

The plot was not twarted, a plane blew up,hundreds of people dead & wounded, and Bush knew about it & let it happen!

Now, that would have been a distraction! sheesh

Just heard, the airport worker was an immigrant from Ghana, he was under surveillance and arrested last night.
