Isn't nitroglycerine a common heart medication? My understanding is that this turns up false positives at the airport frequently.

It is common, I think (my father-in-law carries it with him). However, if the pills were in a container, which would probably be stored in a suitcase, I don't think the dogs would pick up the sent in the car. If you put the bottle of pills on the seat, well then, yes, the dogs would probably hit on that.

If there were already running late, stopping for lesiurely dining does not sound like typical behavior.

I have only seen one article that mentioned the following detail (on Yahoo, possibly it was an AP piece). Most of the details were the same as the rest of the articles the day that the story broke. However, one of the students commented how they were asking where his parents were from, etc. His response to the LEOs were along the lines of "what's it matter, everybody's got to be from someplace".

It's hard to tell where the sloppy journalism ended and the misleading answers began. I saw these students listed as being from 3 different nations, that all 3 were American citizens, that one of them has a visa, that 2 of them were from Jordon, etc.. Then I also wondered if any of them held dual citizenship (which would complicate matters of "where are you from"/"what nationality are you").

The 9/11 hijackers talked in English and bragged at the strip joint. Again, chalk it up as arrogance.

You have a point.

[philosofy123]

Your are correct. The only common denominator is MOSLEMS. Hence profiling of color or race is not practical. We should be vigilant of ALL Moslems.

Hunter said he believes restaurant patron Eunice Stone of Calhoun, Ga., was telling the truth when she contacted authorities Thursday...

She's entirely believable. The lads are lying, as would any good moslem to the infidel (us).

We'd better wise up to al-taqiyah before it's too late. Moslems practice the art of lying to us with every word, and we cannot believe them. If anyone doesn't know that yet, just do some google searches for al taqiyya or al taqiyah, and do some reading about it.

Moslems lie to spread islam, and are encouraged/allowed to do so. The media doesn't seem to get it yet though. I have yet to hear one of them mention this.

Clinical rotations for me began in the third year of medical school and there was no summer vacation between third and fourth year. Every couple months we were assigned to a different place (different hospital, clinic or doctor's office) and we got practical experience at these locations plus lectures from the attendings.

My husband has nitroglycerine also, but you can't carry it around in just any bottle. It breaks down too easily. It has to be kept in an airtight container. My husband carries his in a stainless steel vial with a rubber seal and stainless steel screw-on top. Still, I think dogs could probably pick up on a very small amount of residue that could be on the outside of the vial. But nitroglycerine is not something you can carry around in a pillbox or loose in your pocket like aspirin.

Thanks for the infor, patriciaruth. I knew that once doctors have graduated , their internships and residencies can certainly move them around to different hospitals and clinics, but they are usually within the same city at least. I have never heard of medical students leaving the area where their medical schools are located to do their clinical study rotations. Someone mentioned that this Ross University was an offshore medical school. Perhaps that would explain it.

Yes, it's located in the Caribbean, on the isle of Domenica. Rather low standards too, lower grades are enough to get in. I wouldn't want these guys to be the ones I got stuck with in an emergency. They don't look like the brightest ones around. And as someone else pointed out somewhere, bin Laden's 2nd in command was/is a doctor, Al Zawahire.

Thanks so much for the Ronald Reagan Turnpike information, Sledge. I missed the news of the dedication entirely. That is the name by which I will call it from now on.
