Thank you so much Pegita! I believe if each of us thought a good thought or prayer, the power of each one could combat terrorism.

I saw that interview with Bernie Kerrick. He sure knows his stuff.

well, they could do a "partial red". for example, shut down all international flights. also, no mention of putting the air caps above major cities back up.

See my post 941 on why I think we've been at a too high level all along.

Level 1 is something we will probably never see again.

Very doubtful, although from your keyboard to God's ears

Coming home from Florida in my youth I hitched a ride with a truck carrying radio active waste from Texas to the Arizona dessert where we went to dispose of it we got off and another man took it and drove underground while we were checked with gyger counters...a youthful exp. like I said..anyways the trucker told me that he had a route that was given to him to go through the parts of the city where the ghettoes and less populated areas were in case of an accident. I don't know if this is true for all hazardeous material is it? We did travel a route that was not the most pleasant of areas...he said he was a contract worker for the Govt...how true I don't know. Just know what my eyes saw.

Hey your doing it again! -g-

[JustPiper]

Yep!


Las Vegas: it is stated specifically that a major cable network will be tipped off to cover this explosion. Casualties are expected to be enormous forcing people to flee from the attacked cities.

[JustPiper]

More importantly will you be there NYE?

[knak]

great, you heard that on the news?

I thought Bloomberg took on a very serious tone compared to other press conferences he's given. Also noticed that Commissioner Kelly had a very worried look on his face.

Bloomberg was very different. I couldn't figure out if it was the information he knew or that he has become more comfortable in front of the camera. I haven't seen Kelly enough to compare, but he certainly did look serious.

[JustPiper]

Before May they made everyone complacent with over using the alert system...so this is the first time since May and yes that makes one wonder even more

The new worry about terrorists using a hijacked plane is linked to interrogations of al-Qaida suspects recently arrested in connection with bombings in Turkey, other government officials said Sunday, speaking on condition of anonymity. One or more of the suspects is said to have told interrogators that al-Qaida continues to train pilots outside the United States. The disclosure increased fear among homeland security analysts that a plane could be hijacked from a low-security foreign airport and flown against a U.S. target.

[JustPiper]

Your right he is good!

I remember those duck and cover drills as well. Oddly enough I too was in elementary school in N.O. during the Cuban crisis. Also remember the family going out to dinner on a Friday night then going to some parking lot to tour the bomb shelters for sale. Odd times.

when bloomberg gets on his jet and flies out of NY, I will start to worry. the NY media follows him everywhere.

[JustPiper]

Taking risks in our generation, another thing we have in common. I stupidly hitched constantly while living on the coast. Shoot, I landed at LA and hopped on a bike with a Hell's Angel! LOL!

[oceanperch]

Yikes I remember Rev. Al early in his bid for the WH saying he would create jobs in America rebuilding bridges and major highways.

[JustPiper]

No not yet, it's part of the 'chatter' right now

Does he have any kids or grandkids, that'd tell you for sure.

Who is saying a news crew is being summoned to witness an attack in Vegas?
