I have to wonder if this has anything to do with todays announcement: Lybia hands over al-Qaeda info Maybe he gave some of his weapons to qaeda people that he thinks may now be here? /tin foil

knak, I don't know whether to go with tin foil, aluminum or the pyramid hat on this one. It just makes so much sense, though...time-wise. Ughhhh....

Regarding the heightened Terrorist Alert to Orange - live news conference.


Mayor urges everyone to continue with holiday plans as planned and allow extra time at airport 2-3 hours domestic flights and 4+ hours for international flights.


LAPD is now on a modified tactical alert.


Police Chief Bill Bratten LAPD says they are doing everything they can to insure safe travel, increase security around buildings, doing best to "prevent" problems, checking bags and security ids. Advises everyone to get on with their lives.


The impact of heightened security alert is that there is an increase in security personnel with more info exchange between agencies.


Finally Chief Bratten asks everyone to be aware, but not to let awareness translate into fear. Phone authorities if you see something suspicious.
