Am I reading Sean's post on anomalies.net right? Is he saying "EOM" is apprehended? (See last post on linked page).

He is saying that EOM has no home because he zapped the forum. But it is still there. Bounty hunter is the one he says is in custody.

As posted earlier.

Don't Call the FBI and Don't Insult a Terrorist!

    When my office staff opened up two large envelopes in Friday's mail they were shocked at what they found. One contained a sawdust type substance with a cryptic note that read "Here are some gardening supplies, mulch for a garden or flower bed etc."

    The other contained two pieces of wood and a note that read, "Here are two pieces of redwood, something you might use for labeling in a line of vegetables in the garden."

    Neither package had no return address, an apparent postal service violation since they both weighed over 16 ounces.

    Because we live in a post 9/11 culture and have to deal with all that entails, I immediately called the FBI. The operator said the issue was one the FBI didn't deal with and I should call my local police department. As I had a luncheon appointment, I left the situation with Lori Archibeque, my administrative assistant at Joy Junction.

    When I arrived back at the office, Lori told me, "The sheriff's department came out. The lady who came contacted (her bosses) who told her to call the FBI and Postal Inspector. She tried but the Post Office said they won't come out because there was no return address (imagine my suprise) and no threatening note. The FBI said they wouldn't come out and to tell us to dispose of it or call the fire department to do it."

    To say that I was absolutely flabbergasted is an understatement. In this terror filled society in which we live, we are beseeched by law enforcement agencies call the authorities if we suspect anything suspicious or terror related. Then when I do that, they tell me to THROW AWAY an unknown substance (which they had never seen) to which two of my employees have been exposed because they opened what they believed to be a routine package for their employer. While the package may well be innocent, I will NOT be throwing it away until it has been tested and the safety of my staff is assured. Such an attitude makes me wonder about the effectiveness of the terror watch – at least here in Albuquerque.

    The next day I thought I might as well give the FBI another opportunity. I called and explained my situation to the operator who assured me that someone would give me a call back. While she was good to her word and contacted me a few minutes later neither her news or her attitude were very encouraging. "Mr. Reynalds, this situation has already been dealt with and the FBI will not be getting involved. Unless there's a direct threat, the FBI just doesn't get involved. I suggest you throw it away unless you don't feel comfortable doing so."

    We exchanged a few more words and then I hung up the phone. I briefly pondered the situation. Was I being unreasonable? When discussing the situation with one of my sons he had said, "Dad, the FBI gets a lot of tips and they can't possibly respond to everyone."

    True, but this was more than a tip. This was a package which contained an unknown substance. While in all likelihood it was totally harmless there was always that possibility that it was not. For the safety of my employees and my own peace of mind, I needed to know exactly what it was.

    My curiosity was further piqued when I received an e- mail Saturday from Daleel Almojahid, a purported al Qaida operative with whom I have been corresponding in the United Arab Emirates. In the last few months, Almojahid has made lengthy demands upon the Bush Administration as well as suggesting the need for the evacuation of a number of American cities in light of imminent terrorist attacks.

    While Almojahid said the contents of the package were nothing to worry about, he did add, "It could possibly be a warning messages from one of our groups in the US to you. I will double check on this and see what I can do just watch out and don't try to insult any of us ... "

    The moral of the story is this. Depending on what part of the country you live in, there's probably not a whole lot of point in calling the FBI. But don't get discouraged and do nothing. Instead, try contacting www.rewardsforjustice.net instead if you have legitimate terror information. They appear to listen.

No, not aprehended, just cloose enough to grab ahold of.
