Thanks for clarifying that. I think that the idiots will continuously spew vile messages in hopes of carrying out the big strike. I'd like to think that for every time they've made a threat, we've thwarted an attack. They just like bullying with terrible threats because it makes them feel macho. They're too stupid to plan as many attacks as we've had threats. Those who make idle threats just expose their own weakness.
Art Using Box Cutter Removed From Airport
DENVER - Two pieces of art, including a suitcase with a handle made from a box cutter, were removed from Denver International Airport after employees complained.
The art was part of an exhibit called "The Luggage Project" in which artists from around the world were asked to turn suitcases into art.
The other piece removed from the airport was a suitcase with an attached bumper sticker reading "Blood for oil. Billionaires for Bush," a reference to a satirical group critical of President Bush.
Madeleine Hatz, who created the second suitcase, said she was trying to link the spilling of blood and oil. She complained that she was being censored.
"Art is controversial, and we have a right to freedom of speech," she said.
Aviation co-manager Vicki Braunagel said she removed the pieces July 9, the same day the 43-piece, glass-enclosed exhibit opened on a walkway that comes before the security screening area.
Six employees complained, and Braunagel said the art was "inappropriate." The terrorists who carried out the Sept. 11 attacks took control of the flights after threatening passengers with box cutters.
Woman Injured in SF Airport Carjacking
SAN FRNACISCO -- A woman was injured Friday after a man allegedly stole her car from San Francisco International Airport's United Airlines employee portion of the long-term parking lot, an airport duty manager said.
The duty manager received a call around 2:30 p.m. reporting the incident, although an exact time of the carjacking is not available at this time.
The airport police ordered a countywide roadblock to catch the man, described as armed, a San Mateo Police Department spokesman said.
The woman was being transported to an area hospital, said airport duty manager Dennis Neves.
I'm not sure I would characterize them as 'too stupid' to plan as many attacks as there are threats. We have to remember that most of their plans take several years to complete fully. I think we are getting a lot of threats, at least through the alphabets, that are only pieces of the larger picture. Each arrest we make sets their threats back at least a few months, if not years. We have greatly hurt their ability to plan, if nothing else.
It is highly likely that a number of the direct threats we hear from them are partly psyops. Even so, it often takes a while for threats to come to fruition. UBL declared war on us in 1998 and did not strike at the US homeland until 2001. It's quite possible that threats we have heard in the past several months/years are still in the offing. It all goes back to their patience, they have too much of it.
I'm yet to be convinced about certain groups such as Abu Hafs al Masri Brigades. That 'group' seems to issue a fair amount of idle threats, I would probably put more credence in them if they had not claimed responsibility for the blackout last summer. I guess it's possible that they did do it, but if they did, no one in the US is willing to say it.
