I commend this waitress, she may be the next hero in this battle against evil incarnate.

I entirely agree. God bless this woman! Is it just me that believes the media should not have given so much information about how this information was obtained? It alerts the terrorists that their conversations really are being monitored, thus they will be advised to be yet more careful what they say and the language in which they speak it. This waitress can easily be identified, as can the restaurant, and targeted by fellow terrorists who wish to send Americans a message about "collaborators." While it's wonderful knowing that being alert has enormous pay offs, I would have preferred less detailed info for her sake.

depends on the direction you are going. if these guys went south on the turnpike, they passed Disney; but the way they are headed now, McDill

I can't tell you how many times I've heard Bush/Ashcroft critics complain about the alert warning system. Griping because the government issues these alerts, without giving us specifics about what we are supposed to do. They make fun of Attorney General Ashcroft directing citizens to "Go about their business, but stay alert".

I hope this Shoney's waitress from Calhoun,GA has shut them up.

Why does all this goofy stuff happen in Florida, especially South Florida.?

Orlando Selinas is featured so often, I had him pegged for a regular on the national FOX news team. Turns out he's with a local Miami affiliate, just gets a ton of air time because of our "active" state. I happened to meet him during the recount debacle.

I'm wondering if there isn't something in our drinking water down here, we can't seem to stay out of the news.

“Sir, outpost 12- we have a camel at the wire. She’s trying to get through. She’s pretty frazzled, worn out and frantic. She’s got something on her back Sir. It may be a stool... or a package, I can’t tell. Permission to open fire Sir.”

“HahaHa Haa Haa”

“What’s so funny Sir?”

“Take it easy Private. She was just part of the entertainment at that Afghan wedding last night, ha ha...”

This all happened around 1 AM - seems weird that they are still on the highway, doesn't it?

Anyone got a pic of Steve Irwin?

Will someone help me here? I've been in and out of the room with the TV, so I'm not sure of all that's going on here. I take it that these are the people that the waitress called in about, but have we determined that there are explosives in those cars yet? Did dogs smell explosives? I thought I heard that they had, but it doesn't appear that they found any yet. Is there likely to be any if they haven't found them by now?

The Fox & Friends team was pointing out this a.m. that the Mideast types like the area because they "blend in." Orlando said as much, too: "blond haired, blue-eyed people are rare here." Plus, I suppose the weather suits them.

Thanks for the ping. Great news that they got them.

Pinging a few more folks.

"Bomb-sniffing dogs alerted authorities to material in both vehicles, said E.J. Picolo of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Explosive charges were used to blast open what appeared to be a backpack taken from one of the vehicles. A suitcase was also set out beside the car.

Bomb sniffing dogs. Way to go!

Dogs sniffed explosives from both cars.

good joke ruined by a typo : (

[cantfindagoodscreenname]

Is that a guarantee that there are explosives? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but it seems like if there were explosives there, they would have found them in eight hours. Or is it a very time consuming job? I'm wondering if bombs are somewhere else, but that the dogs are just smelling residue.
