As goofy as it may sound, but inlight of the Hot Air
Baloon's carring bio's instructions found in Atta's
appartment, it would be a very non-assuming way to
hurt alot of people. There are probably more things
they could put in those baloons that would cause a
catastrophic event. And know one would even be concerned
about them especially around holiday's like this.
I'm proud of Jerseygirl's recon of the downtown area. It occurs to me that we need more eyes and boots on the ground looking for specific threat indicators. One good indicator obviously is the absence of ME where ME has in the recent past been a forceful and thriving presence.
When we do a recon in the infantry we teach a format to follow: It can be remembered by the acronym SALUTE. Say you're doing an S&P (Snoop and Poop) or a P&G (Prowl and Growl) and you spot enemy movement. You'd want to remember the most vital stuff for the intel weenies to analyze later so you'd use SALUTE:
Size (how many bad guys in the group)
Activity (what are they doing at that moment)
Location (don't forget direction of movement, vehicles if any and est. speed)
Uniform (how are they dressed; especially if not in keeping with climate, environment or culture)
Time
Equipment (what stuff are they carrying in the way of communications, weapons, chemical protective gear, video, optics like binoculars, etc.)
As they say, the "Devil is in the Details." The more details, the better. ALSO, LOOK UP. people, like deer have no natural "predators" that strike from above that's why deer hunters use tree stands and snipers like the high ground. So, you must deliberately look up, like jerseygirl did. I'm really proud of her, she did an excellent job. The more TM folks who undertake these kinds of forays and put actual eyeballs onto a situation and report back (BurbankKarl!) the faster we can dope out something useful to hand to the feds.
Let me also make very clear that I am in no way advocating any surveillance of law abiding citizens! We're in a war, be alert is all I'm saying.
Is there a way to monitor the keyword modifications?
What bugs me the most about the story yesterday is that it was a "parachute".
Please read this post, it is a humble reminder of WHY we are here, Thank you HipShot!
Parachute, baloon or anything like that, no one
would think twice. Were I live they fly around
all the time because it a tourist and vacation
town.
Propaganda generation. Exactly who is the propaganda to be for? It can't be us, because we know the truth. It may be an attempt to rally their population against an external enemy. It may also be designed to be an indicator to other nations of their stance, as a solicitation of some form of alliance against us.
Tis not much of a mystery, it is getting old and they lost long ago, they should give it up, TM is not going anywhere!
Ping!
I wonder if air space over Philly will be restricted. It should be.
Yes it is. That was posted earlier this morning.
TM is like Texas, like a whole another country, when you compare the info here to what gets played to the masses on TV etc.
