TERROR ALERT RAISED

[Lunatic Fringe]

Just breaking on CNN

[cajungirl]

the one they caught coming from Mexico with alot of money on the terror watch list.

Ridge said, at this juncture no other cities

It doesn't matter..

It most certainly does matter. We have more still streaming into the US.

Chances are high now that they will choose different targets.

Excellent point! Another FReeper mentioned churches, like St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC, after what happened in Iraq today. I hope they secure other financial institutions, and/or other communities with high concentrations of financial institutions. A good example is my hometown of Wilmington, DE, which is smack in-between NYC and DC. There are A LOT of credit card companies based there. In fact, the movie Fight Club took place in the Wilmington, DE area (though the city wasn't named).

It's impossible to seal our borders. It's why we took the war to the terrorists where we can kill them in huge numbers. Doesn't mean they won't come here of course, but there's really no way to keep them out, imo.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Precisely.

[Redpower]

Kerry must have done better than expected.

[null and void]

That, and "I aim to please, ma'am" is something of a cliché.

Thanks, Howlin.

I was able to catch the bulletin on TV!

[cajungirl]

I think if they can't get to where they want, they will go elsewhere,,philadelphia, boston, chicago, baltimore.

[Pyro7480]

See my post #164.

Yep. They just recently caught the Egyption smuggling muslims into the U.S. through Mexico. How many have they not caught?

[NeoCaveman]

Yes. We were expecting a -10 point bounce for Kerry and only got -7 point bounce per Gallup.

when I see the truck stop and searches being done at the bridges and tunnels - that's high orange, I suspect I will start seeing that Monday.

I came into NYC on a Monday afternoon about two weeks ago - every bus and truck going through the Holland tunnel was being stopped and inspected - so I'm guessing that's already been happening for a while now.

Do you think they will take a request? :)

"....Probably Kerry will be too busy attending fund raisers to bother with any security briefing..."

Hey, you must realise that he's on a cross-country bus tour for his campaign. He can't be bothered with these briefings unless of course they are one of the stops on his trip. He'll catch up....sooner or later.

I'm a little nervous sitting in Charlotte right now. Wachovia and Bank of America are both based here.

I agree. I also think that there are many that came here legally and are currently just "sleeping". I only hope that everyone is aware of what the mosques here preach on Fridays.

[EggsAckley]

He listed specific buildings

I missed the first minute or so. Can you post the list of building?

[ican'tbelieveit]

eerily similar to the calendar in the arab world pre-9/11
