Were the box cutters connected to a timer, or a cell phone?

[Velveeta]

Not according to any of the reports that I’ve seen.

Our children are in danger. That and the job of a couple of TSA losers.

Just wondering...if there were to be a terrorist attack in the U.S. during The Won’s absence, would he and his entourage of 3,000 return from India, or would he hurriedly look for the closest golf course?

I agree Doc. Our children and all of us are in danger.

Seeing as how the Won thinks we can “absorb” an attack, I’d venture to guess he’d head for the back nine.

[dr_who]

Just for agreeing with me, I shall hide a box cutter under your chair.

[Velveeta]

Gee thanks. As if I don’t have enough drama in my life.

chatter is up, take it from me

[dixiechick2000]

Thank you!

It would make sense, given so many failures from the east, that they would try from the west.

HERE IS THE LINK TO A JAPANESE TV REPORT ON THIS INCIDENT. Might not stream on all systems. Hit the white triangle at link to stream.

They had many plans to do it from the West (East Asia), including Bojinka. They have not given up.

[dixiechick2000]

I remember Bojinka, and that was a colossal failure. Maybe they’ve been gun shy since.

But, it’s been so long, and so many memories are short. They do like to revisit failures.

It was only a matter of time.

It’s interesting that 0bama will be out of country with so many people and infrastructure.

It’s almost like he knows something is coming . . . .
