Your kidding! That make sense. Thank you so much, Node. Poor choice of a program name for us TMers, I would say! LOL!

Guys, here is our innocent explanation for the "nuke" reference that concerned me last night.

Thanks, HipShot. The PHP part I understood, but I am not familiar with the "nuke" program. All I can say is: Whew! +++ wiping brow +++

MY sister-in-law is teacher in South Carolina. She will be attenting a mandatory "muslim sensitivity" program. Shouldn't that pretty much ice the cake?
South Carolina FReepers, it's on you territory.

Update on Turkish Airline story

Man held after airport attack

From correspondents in Georgia
June 25, 2004

A DISTRAUGHT man who had been told erroneously that a plane on which a relative was flying had crashed stormed into the Turkish Airlines office in the Georgian capital and attacked its manager, an airline official said.

Initial reports of the incident said that the office was seized in an armed attack and that hostages may have been taken, but airline spokesman Timur Liparteliani said no hostages were seized and that no weapons were involved.

The attacker was detained by police who had sped to the scene in downtown Tbilisi.

The attacker was relative of a passenger on a Turkish Airlines and the man was told by someone that the flight had crashed, Liparteliani said. It was not immediately clear what flight the passenger was on.

A Turkish Airlines plane was struck by lightning yesterday while on a domestic flight between Antalya and Istanbul, but made a safe emergency landing.

Don't worry, PHP-Nuke is just a content management system. It has nothing to do with nukes!

"The nuke reference must either be a mistake (but that is unlikely) or perhaps the Arabic words for nuke and volcano are similar?"

Could there be something embedded in the pix or even in the page itself? Could this just be another directive or go code?

I agree that there are a lot of scenarios and theories posted that do not come close to materializing, but how can we know what was prevented by those who seek to protect us? The asteroid and other celestial matters are tied in because they symbolize possible signals to our enemy to begin a strike. This thread is an eclectic collection of dots, some of which may end up being relevant and some are not.

Gold up to $401.50 this morning. USD is stable at $89.32. It's gold that scares me...

Yikes!

I bet Saudi security is so infiltrated that some did know of his location.

Excuse me if I am very DUBIOUS about islamic law at the moment!!!

Me too, but it looks like they might be positioning themselves to take some real action.

An analogy might be a formal Declaration of War. After all, the House of Saud just noticed that THEY are on the target list!

We'll have a better idea in a month or so...

Agree, but the key point that I'm trying to make is that we need to learn from this so that we can re-evaluate our sources to see if it is legit to use up bandwidth here or are we just muddying up the water with a bunch of chicken little stuff. Take a pause, think, review and then deal with the data, posting that which has the highest probability of being correct so that we are not overwhelmed here. Case in point, this is thread 11, tens of thousands of postings....how good has the data that has been posted been?

It's a shame that not one Christian student could find the (word escapes me) to wear a sash that said "SALVATION" in any language.

Back to the Airline threats...................

Are Euro airlines
inviting next 9-11?
Officials see lax security
on cross-Atlantic flights

Airline-industry security officials say the potential for another 9-11-style attack on the U.S. is still high – especially from foreign, cross-Atlantic flights not heeding security precautions adopted by U.S. carriers following the 2001 terrorist-hijacking suicide assaults.

Risk analysis evaluations done by security officials show the threat of flight from Europe hitting a major U.S. target is still high, reveals Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin, the premium, online intelligence newsletter published by WND.

Trans-Atlantic flights more vulnerable to terror?

The report indicates security officials have hard intelligence terrorists based in Europe or in the Middle East might once again use a passenger plane to hit a U.S. target – not necessarily a high-profile target such as in the case of the Twin Towers or the Pentagon, but rather a target that could result in mass destruction such as nuclear and chemical plants or ammunition depots.

The analysis is based in part on the fact passengers of diverse ethnicities and religions use cross-Atlantic flights from such countries as the UK and Germany. Air-travel security officers are of the opinion such a hijacking attack can be planned to occur at the end of a long flight when passengers and cabin crew are less alert.

One major weakness, which terrorists might exploit to their advantage in such a scenario, is what analysts call "the knock on the door surprise," reports G2 Bulletin. Many airlines arriving in the U.S., they say, whether originating in Europe or elsewhere, do not adhere to basic security requirements such as keeping the cockpit door locked from before takeoff until after landing.

One option being weighed is to force every airline, whether carrying a U.S. flag or not, to employ rigid measures, including training of cabin personnel on how to behave if a suspicious passenger tries to reach the cockpit area.

In one scenario, hijackers reach the cockpit by going to the washroom closest to it. This is definitely a possibility for business or first-class passengers, or even for others who simply choose the right moment to walk into the restricted area.

One analyst believes terrorists might try to threaten the lives of passengers and cabin crew to convince the pilots to open the cockpit door. Such a situation could be the most difficult to handle, since some foreign pilots are not trained to handle the horrific possibility of passengers and crew being executed by the terrorists.

Experts stress the need to have a fortified cockpit door, including the possibility of adding a small video camera covering the immediate area around the door and maybe even throughout the cabin.

Not every flight arriving in the U.S. originates from countries with high-security standards, and terrorists are known to have the ability to examine possibilities on aircraft arriving from all corners of the world.
