Did you see the post last night re: Norad tracking Air France flight 68 and giving them an F-16 escort? I also heard they were tracking some of the flights coming in from Mexico but nothing specific. That flight has been ordered to dock at a building away from the terminal since the day before they were ordered not to enter our airspace on Christmas Eve. All passengers were body searched more than once as was their baggage.

We all need to stay alert this evening and report anything unusual on local news etc.

Additionally a homicide bomber just blew up a restaurant in Baghdad just before midnight killing 4.

Yes, I was watching that thread yesterday about the AF68 to LA.

Some were commenting that a number of flights have been escorted for a few days now.

Combine that with those stowaways in wheel-wells, things are picking up. Maybe the stowaways were just poor souls who wanted to get here no matter what, and not terrorist attempts, still it makes you wonder about security breaches.

I just wonder how long we can keep up this level of alertness. Well, we just have to keep doing it, until more of the leadership is stopped in their tracks.

Just saw a thread re: a big AQ arrest, I think it was the right-hand man to Al Zawahiri.

Today's Flight 68 is over Greenland now. I assume they will also get an escort.
