There was some blurb about possible attempts to use trains for terror about a week ago if I remember correctly.

The whole coast down there is loaded with targets from Houston to Corpus Christi...Also lots of chemical plants. Check out the naval base...I wasn't going to post this my son is down there but I am sure they already know this.

The Navy continues the process of consolidating the operations and training of its mine countermeasures forces in South Texas under the leadership of Commander, Mine Warfare Command. Naval Station Ingleside is a vital component of this concept of operations. Currently 25 of the Navy's newest mine countermeasures ships, coastal mine hunters and MCM command and control ship, USS Inchon, call Ingleside home

State Investigates Legitimacy of Homeland Security Inspection

November 23, 2003

CHATTANOOGA (AP) -- State officials are investigating whether a man who recently inspected a chemical plant in Chattanooga was an official with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, as he claimed, or an impostor.

Mjr. Gen. Jerry Humble, Tennessee's chief of homeland security, said his group is aware of the situation and intends to get to the bottom of it.

Officials were informed of the man's visit to the Chattanooga BASF plant during a meeting of the Local Emergency Planning Committee.

David Darnell, BASF's safety manager, told the committee that a man identifying himself as a federal inspector called to ask about some tanker rail cars at the plant.

Darnell told the man to "bring some identification" to the plant, where he could get his questions answered in person.

The man, wearing a uniform and armed with a pistol, arrived several days later.

Humble said the Department of Homeland Security has not informed his office of any plans to inspect industrial plants in Tennessee.

In addition, he said, it is standard practice for armed federal agents to notify local law enforcement agencies when they come into town.

the article doesn't tell as much of the story as mom's local news did.

Here's what the local news reported per my mom:

Guy calls BASF Chemical Plant in Chattanooga and starts asking a bunch of questions and says he's with Homeland Security. They told him he'd have to come in because they couldn't answer his questions on the phone. 3 days later the guy shows up in a "uniform" and packing a gun. Asks BASF all about their operation, he was really interesting in the rail cars that enter the plant with tanker cars. Asking the schedule of them, if they can be rented and other various things. The stupid people never checked him out and told him everything he wanted to know. Days later the real Homeland Security had contacted them about uping security at the plant because of possible terrorism etc. And they said yeah one of your guys was already out here...HS was like we haven't sent anybody there. So isn't that just great!

No, I see the other image on the moon. It looks like a red stripe on the bottom, but then there are circular-looking things on top. My first impression was an eye. On second look it's almost a figure "8". Weird picture. I don't know how much importance to place on these jihadi images, but I think this or a similar pic was described by someone (maybe NW AZ Granny?) as a dead Osama looking on from heaven.

Then there is this. Snipped from a hotel site.

Surrounding industries include over 200 refinery and chemical plants, the Port of Houston and the San Jacinto College System. Nearby attractions include the San Jacinto Battlegrounds, Battleship Texas, Cruise Lines, Pasadena Livestock Show and Rodeo, Battleground Golf Course and Kemah Boardwalk. The NASA Space Center which is 20 miles south of the hotel, and Six Flags Astroworld/Waterworld, Reliant Stadium, Minute Maid Park and the Medical Center are located approximately 15 miles west of the hotel.

Nothing underground, all surface transportation in Houston.

[Letitring]

Naw, we didn't. We discussed that a couple of weeks ago. Complete with suicide bombers on trains in Az.

[Letitring]

It's like one big metroplex.

[Labyrinthos]

Seats expanded to 72,000 for Super Bowl. 8,200 club seats. One of Jihad estimates said 100,000 dead. (guess that means one attack, since it certainly would not destroy us), hummmmmmmmmm.

So obvious that it couldn't happen, I hope, I pray.

[Mossad1967]

Agreed, 100%!

[Cindy]

No.

And we won't dare ask how many times HE ASKED HIMSELF those same questions.

[oceanview]

any rail tracks run by the stadium? i imagine they would shut service down on that line for the event.

[Cindy]

Why doesn't someone write in the "daleel" group write to "daleel" (s) and say, "Not right now dear. I have a headache!"

Hmmm...just a thought.

[Labyrinthos]

Just kidding....Is he just tring to scare us or is there really something planned for sat night or sunday. Unless we find more info then we will have to wait and see. I hope it is all just talk.

My gut feeling is that he's an empty bag, but there's just enough there to make me wonder. Am I scared? I gave up being scared in the aftermath of 09.11. What happens, happens, I have no fear for me as long as our response is certain, focused, and devistating.
