FBI BULLETIN: LOOKOUT FOR SUICIDE BOMBERS INSIDE THE U.S. Thu May 20 2004 19:09:51 ET
Warns Officials To Look for People Wearing Bulky Jackets on Warm Days; Smell of Chemicals; Trailing Wires from Jackets Bombers May Disguise Selves As Pregnant Women
New York - The FBI has disseminated to 18,000 law enforcement agencies an intelligence bulletin advising police officials to be on the lookout for suicide bombers attempting to strike inside the US, TIME's Elaine Shannon reports today on TIME.com. The lightly classsified bulletin, headlined "Possible suicide bomber indicators," and circulated earlier today (May 20) via the FBO's secure Law Enforcement Online (LEO) Intranet, warns local badge-carriers to look for obvious signs of trouble - people wearing heavy, bulky jackets on warm days, smelling of chemicals, trailing wires from their jackets - and, as well, more subtle ones, such as tightly clenched fists. Someone who never shows his palms could be gripping a detonator rigged to go off when a button is released. "If you shoot him, you're still not safe because his hands relax and the bomb explodes," says a counter-terrorism official, TIME reports.
The FBI bulletin also notes that suicide bombers may disguise themselves in stolen military, police or firefighter's garb or as pregnant women, TIME reports.

If it's over 80 degrees and someone is wearing a heavy coat They often wave their arms randomly and sometimes shout at ghosts in the air just above and behind them. People don't usually allow such to come near anyway.

Can you say US internment camps for middle easterners?
Just make sure they're in a nice location. Owens Valley's already been used for the Japanese, so some other spot in California would have to be chosen. Hey - there's all these nifty new huge hotels at reservations! Might even be vaguely legal too.

"The FBI has disseminated to 18,000 law enforcement agencies an intelligence bulletin..."This could get interesting. Cities like Berkeley have famously refused to cooperate with the DOJ and FBI in the WOT. If these places ignore clear warnings, their constituents could wind up paying bigtime. By declaring their reluctance to question or apprehend anybody of ME extraction, they have made themselves very easy and tempting targets.

No - the Fonz is not pregnant. I'm looking for the whole package: pregnant, wires trailing, palms gripping, aroma de la chemicals.

Yep, the weak and defenseless. It doesn't take MACE or much strongarming to slam Grannie up against the wall, breaking her nose and shattering her uppers.

Suicide bombers have free access to malls,theatres,athletic events,retaurants and all other types of public buildings. And look how "back packs" have become so popular, Mears. Everyone wears one. :(

LOL! If it's over 80 degrees and someone is wearing a heavy coat, the smell isn't only gonna be chemicals! Think "back packs."
