The Maryland State Police Fusion Center received an anonymous call of a “chemical weapons threat” aboard Air France Flight 22, which is en route from Paris and is expected to land at the New York City airport later this morning.

Laz, you did it!

You now hold the Free Republic record for most repeated post on one thread!

I have always believed in you.

I’d nominate you for a picture on the box of Wheaties, but I don’t want you to go Bruce Jenner on us.

Again, the plane landed at 10:18. An hour before Kristin posted the thread.

"they were unsuccessful because it is also a state holiday in France."

France is so civilized. (see John Kerry) The terrorists are expected to take National Holidays off from work.

Admin Mod, cleanup on aisle 4.

No leave it. I've never seen such a genuine multiple post.

And it is sort of appropriate.
