Folks, I am not an alarmist. However, this sounds like it is right out of the Al Qaeda handbook. This is one of the tools of terrorism.
(1) Terrorize
(2) Make complacent with endless threats.
(3) Terrorize
(4) Complacent . . .
Etc. ad nauseam.
Don't bet your New York condo that they will try to fly an airplane into a building.
I hope it won't take a nuclear explosion to convince America that we are vulnerable to small yield WMDs. One small dirty nuclear devise set off southwest of NYC and we will have 9-11 X 100 + months of distress beyond anything most of you can imagine.
If your enemy tells you he is planning an attack . . . only a fool would do nothing.
I say bring on the PROFILING . . . . YESTERDAY!
