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.
We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm
Meet It!
Greet It!
Defeat It!

MamaDearest- and this is only one small company delivering in central and Northern PA
wow, people need to take it easy. we have low level helicopter flyovers all the time here - we've had a rash of boating while intoxicated incidents, it usually means someone with a small boat is missing and they are searching for them.
Absolutely.
It's possible but unlikely. It's actually worded in the original Arabic as "Two Cities"
Thanks for the rapid response! I suppose I was looking in the wrong direction.
Has anyone here emailed the seller of the uniforms, and let him know this might be a terror risk? The seller might just
close the auction if he was aware of the risk...
Not gonna leave Jill out of the loop. I found it there, thus the link to her site.
Thanks Revel, but that's not a site of interest for me.
You are overestimating the power of a suitcase nuke. They are very small (for nukes). They will knock down everything in about a 3 block radius, with a rapidly diminishing effect the further out you go.
That is still enough to really trash the downtown core of just about any city, but not nearly enough to destroy the entire city. Nor would 20 nukes (or 35) be nearly enough to knock out the U.S. as a whole.
Twenty small nukes is not really a lot. If that is "all" you have, you would need to be creative in how you used them.
Small nukes like this are most useful for blowing up high value point targets. Examples include dams (think down stream flooding, loss of power generation, washed out bridges, etc.), nuclear power plants (think LOTS of fallout), and killing key groups of people (think Congress, the Pentagon, the White House, etc.).
For instance:
A small group of them could take out the financial district of NYC.
Taking out the right dam(s) on the Mississippi/Missouri rivers would cut the country in half, and make New Orleans into a lake.
Taking out the right dam(s) on the Columbia River would flood Portland, and cut off Washington state. (The U.S. would then be cut into 3 parts...).
The St. Lawrence Seaway could be rendered un-navigable, thus cutting off shipping from the Great Lakes.
If the goal is to show "moral superiority" at the same time, take out Las Vegas and/or Hollywood.
The enemy leaders are smart people. Each of the above possibilities has been mentioned as a possible Al Qaida target in previous news reports.
In addition to doing enormous economic damage, the above attacks would sow panic among the people. However, I think the U.S. would survive an attack like this. Islam might not survive the retaliation, however.
Again recognizing that the enemy leaders are smart people, and have thought all this through, what could possibly hit us so hard that our ability to retaliate is crushed?
Hmmm... Anthrax and/or smallpox are the weapons of choice if your purpose is to kill LOTS of people.
Interesting comments there.
I wonder how people (we) would react if we were told the truth?
EG "This is Homeland Security. We would like to go to Red Alert- but we don't have the money to do so, so we are leaving it at yellow but trying to simulate Red in the cities.
By the way, duct tape will not be necessary given the current threat information coming in.
Your entire country is targetted for destruction by crazed jihadis wielding bios,chems, and nuclear weapons. Probably sooner rather than later. Could be tomorrow.
Please read "What to do with less than 3 days until a Nuclear attack" for further instructions.
But stay calm, and keep shopping at Walmart."
That is true, but they have some specially outfitted ones that are used most often.
Well, it's true if it is Air Force...otherwise Marine One, Navy One, etc.
yea, I've always wondered if the 'tiny' post 9-11 anthrax 'outbreak' was a 'test run' for a later terrorist strike....
>>>I have sometimes wondered whether EOM and Daleel post on this thread using a different name
BUMP!
Bump!
bUMP!
You are awesome to share this information with us and I am thankful to be able to read it, thanks to you! In this time of terror threat, it is somewhat unsettling to know if some people have the $$ to spend, they can access information that might save their very lives, while the have-nots are left to fend for themselves. I plan to learn to do more site-surfing in the coming months myself. Cindy and Jill rate really high with me for their diligent and selfless work to keep us all apprised of what is going on in jihadi-land. Thanks again JerseyGirl!
Wound 1, you've removed several. Kill 1, you've removed 1.
Have sent the map to you, hope it works!
Will be in an attachment, from hotmail acct.
Thanks much!
the anthrax threat is alot more possible then the nuclear weapon threat. but the dispersal methods are in question, although it would work well in a subway.
(CNSNews.com) - Fourteen miles from the U.S. Capitol, a basement-run organization with alleged ties to Hamas and al Qaeda is a crucial link in the planning of any future terrorist attacks against the United States, according to several terrorism experts who analyzed documents and other information obtained in a CNSNews.com investigation.
The United Association for Studies and Research (UASR), based in Springfield, Va., is publicly identified as a Muslim think tank but has multiple ties to the terrorism underworld, according to the CNSNews.com sources, who are both inside and outside government.
