"I'd say it doesn't seem as if the "specific threat" involves a car or truck bomb.

I'm really itching to know about the exact nature of this threat."

Good point there.

I read this afternoon on Yahoo News something to the effect that car and truck bombs are the hardest to control. I think it was a quotation by Ridge. Now, why would he say that? Why would he want the terrorists to know this? Perhaps it's a ruse or misinformation to counfound the terrorists? I hope so. I hate to think it could be something more catastrophic.

I just want to know what the plan is when another 9.11 takes place. What's the US going to do?

But the terrorists know that the Western/Christian world is watching on Sunday, their day of worship. Lots of press, lots of pics for all the world to see.

So if you work in one of the named buildings, would you show up for work?

Yesterday at the college I was slightly paranoid about a Muslim man and his wife with a veil

I don't blame you. It's just a fact of everyday life these days. I've been doing alot of flying lately and find myself looking over my fellow passengers for Muslim men 18 to 35.

What's the kicker though is that the security leaving DC is tighter than ever. The security flying into DC is pretty much nonexistent.

I've read the worry is more plane hijackings. Are they betting that it will be flights that attack are leaving from sources close to the area they want to attack?

They are gonna try again. Unfortunately only pure luck may stop them.

In response to the post about the woman taken into custory who presumably spilled details about the next attack. So I asked, if she "sang", was her "tune" accurate?

Interesting report. Local evening news just indicated Tampa airport security has been increased to orange too.

That says to me that all the international ports and airports have probably been jacked up as well.

It was a Pakistani computer engineer named Kahn, fluent in English

Any news about the Atlanta airport? Hearing the news about TPA was a bit disturbing.
