Wait a minute...employees requesting time off to observe a religious holiday? Call out the National Guard!

I'll know how seriously to take this when the feds do/do not raise the color alert tomorrow. My sense is that they have usually raised it on Friday afternoons. If they raise it with the warning that there is "chatter in the system," I'll get a little nervous. Until then, I'll chalk this up to bored jihadi-wannabes jerking off to fantasies of attacking the U.S.

Agreed, however, if the feds were investigating this threat, they would want the info to stay as fresh as possible to track down those involved thus acting as though they are unaware. They would probably not raise the level until all possibilites were exhausted. Actually, imagine the panic in NY, DC and east coast if they were to mainstream this information today or tomorrow............
