This happened a week ago, but I did not find it with a search for "Costco".
Something we need to be concerned about?
Stories here theorize that Vancouver, Canada AlQaeda cells are using the I-5 corridor (quick getaway) for tests for the next terrorism attack -- shopping malls at Christmas?
Your thoughts and comments requested.
BTW this also happened in a Safeway store in Keizer (4 miles N of the Costco)

Perhaps eco-terrorists who hate capitalism.

Perhaps, but what do you think of the Al-Qaeda, testing for major terrorist attack, I-5 theory that some here in Salem are espousing?

Northwest is not lacking for Islamic sympathizers... like Mayor Katz of Portland.

One of their compost piles probably burped.
For those who are curious, right near Salem there is a sign on I-5 that says "45th parallel. Half the distance from the equator to the north pole"

Northwest is not lacking for Islamic sympathizers Neither is Texas. Bottom line, is we need to get a grip on this immigration lunacy, or we will all face the consequences.

Middle Easterners streaming to Texas
By EDWARD HEGSTROM
Copyright 2002 Houston Chronicle Texas has one of the nation's fastest-growing Middle Eastern populations, and most of the state's immigrants live in Houston, according to a study based on census data.
Researchers at the Center for Immigration Studies say Texas' Middle Eastern population more than doubled in the last decade, to just over 100,000, including more than 52,000 in Greater Houston.

Thanks for the ping. If I remember the "terrorists in the U.S. map" correctly there is quite a large contengent of Al-Queda in the Seattle area (I-5 corridor) and as we all know quite a few groups in B.C.,Canada.
I am no haz-mat person but I find it hard to believe that this was caused by food-samples being handed out. Just doesn't sound right. Besides, if it was bad food, I don't think they people would have taken ill that quickly.

Here's another incident to add to the "interesting" possibly terrorist list.

Well that's interesting. I'm getting awfully tired of all the immigration (I'm talking legal, don't even get me started on all the illegals). America is no longer the "melting pot". Besides, the melting temperature for middle-easterners is just way too high.

Apparently thse types of incidents are sometimes caused by "mass hysteria". I hate it when doctors write off illnesses as psychosomatic. But when no cause can be found and all the "victims" are quickly released from the hospital, you have to wonder. Perhaps one or two people fainted and the others said: "Hey, I'm not feeling so good myself."
To: Joe Hadenuf
So the fact there are Middle Easterns in Texas means they're Terrorist sympathizers?
Give me a break

Is it true that Mayor Katz is a left-wing liberal transplant from the Northeast U.S.?

Oregon needs a change!

You betcha......
