LUCKY THREAD NUMBER:

HOMELAND INSECURITY

Backup electrical systems failed to kick in

A mysterious power failure at Logan Airport that delayed dozens of flights for more than five hours has still not been explained – six days later.

Airport officials insist airline security was not compromised during the blackout Monday at Logan International's Terminal E, but backup electrical systems failed to kick in as they are programmed under such circumstances.

Theres a lot of disagreement over the Cold War as WWIII.

I made my decision based on the fact POW's were taken ( and few returned), 52 aircraft were shot down, and there was one heck of a proxy war going on, as well as espionage designed to achieve or blunt strategic goals of domination.

Its defintiely open to debate, and I am definitely open to the revision of my point of view.

What makes you think that jersey?

[nw_arizona_granny]

It has been declared to be a car antenna that fell off a passing car.

False alarm.

right, they wired it to explode it, and then decided it was a car antenna.

LOL

She wasn't gone Jersey.

About what I thought.

Radar can be done from high flying aircraft as well as satellites.

Thanks.

Mel Brooks rules.

Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die.

We're not turning "horse" into a euphemism, are we? :)

That Federalist Eagle is the signia of the GSG9. They are an anti terrorist group that was formed after failed rescue attempt by German police and they lost hostages.

Now there is a rabbit hole to fall down.

Plop! Actually, inverting the word order brings up the possibility of shipping channels, canals, rivers and flood water control. Suez, Panama, Erie, Gibraltar. Critical tunnels might also fall into consideration (rail and motor vehicle paths).

[HipShot]

You've just described the typical narcissist.

[Calpernia]

Nope...Now JP is missing. But someone posted there may have been a storm by her.

UK reaction to AQ terror threat:


MI5 to get go-ahead for regional cells

Richard Norton-Taylor
Monday July 12, 2004

The Guardian

MI5 is to set up regional "intelligence cells" to counter the threat from Islamists, counter-terrorist officials said last night.

The move, which has been in the pipeline for months, is expected to get the go-ahead today when the chancellor, Gordon Brown, announces large increases in the national security budget as part of the government's comprehensive spending review.

The first cells will be set up in the West Midlands and north-west England, security sources said yesterday.

MI5 officers will work closely with special branch officers attached to local police forces.

Security sources said last night that the decision to estabish permanent MI5 cells out of London was in response to the threat from al-Qaida sympathisers.

The cells are also likely to be responsible for recruiting Muslims as informants for MI5. The MI5 website encourages Muslims to help in the fight against terrorism and Arabic speakers to join the agency.

A pilot scheme for setting up regional bases is expected to be established this summer. MI5 is currently looking for premises outside London.

New technology will allow intelligence to be passed from regional bases to MI5's headquarters at Thames House in London, where it will be analysed by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre, a special unit set up after September 11.
with an offence.

The move into the regions by MI5 reflects a growing belief that the threat to Britain's security comes from within the UK.

OK-- if the spooks with the intel are nervous enough that they've decided to leave London, ought that not be a clue for us sheeple?

[HipShot]

And liberal.

[Calpernia]

Horse, schwartz, have at it.

[hotrod45]

it's something, but as i read it, they're staying in london in addition to moving to regional offices.

You think Mel Brooks was a narcissist?

I think it would have showed more in his comedy, no?
