Scary stuff.. I hope they are wrong. HS has been very careful over the summer and fall not to "cry wolf." Over the last few months the news analysts have been saying that they wouldn't be raising the alert level unless they had something very specific. Stay safe.

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.
