Heard on Mark Levin’s show tonite that it is very unusual for the FBI to ask for help in finding anyone not charged with anything.

Washington State is so inept when it comes to preventing terrorism. It’s like they have this “hear no evil, see no evil but there is federal money to combat evil” syndrome.

We should be worried, our ferries are sitting ducks, very soft targets. Most likely these guys are from BC. Our Muslim community is very small, they would have been spotted by now if they were local.

Here is law enforcement's problem: The ferries, NY's also are embarrasingly soft targets. If law enforcement talks about the problem or publicly acknowledges the problem, or asks for help from civilians, or gets challenged by the press, they look weak ande unprepared.

Just like the FBI agent who noticed all the muslims taking flying lessons, she was ignored because FBI was too bureaucratized to think out of the box or recognize new threats.

They are probably just Mennonites, so fear not.

Another point, quick quiz. Prior to 9/11 what was New Yorks largest single loss of life?

No, not the shirt factory.

The General Slocum. It was 1906 and more than 1000 died in a fire on the ship. The cruise was in the east river. Those not killed in the fire were drowned in the East River.

So where this ferry runs is the water fast? Is it cold? How many would survive in the water if they had to bail because of a fire?

Perfect target I bet.

“exhibiting unusual behavior”

Wouldn’t that description target at least half the population in Seattle?
