The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

YOU be the Judge and get informed.

With the nation on high alert for al-Qaida terrorists, the Department of Homeland Security is putting its border officers through "etiquette" classes to soften their image and make them less threatening to arriving foreign immigrants, WorldNetDaily has learned.

"Cues from chatter" gathered around the world are raising concerns that terrorists might try to attack the domestic food and drug supply, particularly illegally imported prescription drugs, acting Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Lester M. Crawford says.

Now that almost sounds made to order. Terrorists won't target any legally purchased prescription drugs, but those smuggled in from Canada are definitely at risk.

What the heck?

They didn't catch the "seal bomb" guy by the Golden Gate Bridge???

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Imagine an RV full of exploding fireworks laced with bio.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

It is reassuring to know the authorities were on top of this.

[Velveeta]

Apparently, if they park the RV by the Golden Gate Bridge...

Neither the FBI, Coast Guard, or CHP will snag them.

(Ooooh am I honked about this one)

It turned out the explosions came from "seal bombs" -- large, M-80-style firecrackers that some fishermen use to scare away seals from their catch. An M-80 has the destructive force of an eighth of a stick of dynamite.

I worked fixing the electronics on tuna seiners in San Diego from 1977 to 1980. The water-proof seal bombs were part of the standard equipment on the boat. There were accidents with damaged hands on a regular basis from crew members who didn't toss them fast enough.

Innovation to the rescue! I was working down at the 10th avenue terminal when a vendor showed up to demonstrate a new product to the captain. It was a seal bomb that is launched from a flare gun. No more blown off fingers. The vendor stepped out on the deck, loaded the seal bomb into the gun and fired. The bomb flew in a nice arc. Just as it hit the water, a brown pelican swooped down and picked it up. Boom! A flash of feathers. No more brown pelican.

The seal bombs are a licensed and controlled tool. If the fisherman was properly licensed, there was no violation of the law.

Bathing in toilet water doesn't sound very hallal to me.

IPN reporting a police car has possibly been stolen in Las Vegas. Presidnet Bush is visitng city for event.

[4thygipper]

Car has tag number 8889

[4thygipper]

IPN reporting car has been located. All is OK.

[Mrs. Xtrmst]

Wasn't there another young ME student missing in the last week? Can't remember where.

And I am happy to know that the Iraqi athletes will not be subject to torture no matter how they perform in the end.

Here is my problem with this....here on the East Coast...no need for "seal bombs". So if in your area on the West Coast this is a common occurance...even near the Golden Gate Bridge...why the need for the CHP, helicopters, FBI, governor, etc. And once again someone who is nameless and not caught causing a commotion. IMHO this "seal bomb" story is to cover for CHP activity at the bridge....something more "real" may have been happening.

BTW I like your story about your first hand experience with these, I never heard of seal bombs before....just goes to show you learn something new every day.

Hello all, I've missed my TM :-)

Many thanks for the ping to your excellent summary Godzilla. It is such a asset. I've been offline since Monday (out of town company). Hopelessly behind.

Blasts Hit Two Spanish Cities After ETA Warning

Reuters ^ | 8-12-2004 | Blanca Rodriguez

Posted on 08/12/2004 1:31:34 PM EDT by TexKat MADRID (Reuters) - Explosions hit two cities on Spain's north coast on Thursday after a newspaper received a warning call in the name of armed Basque separatist group ETA, and at least one person was injured, officials said. A small bomb exploded in Santander close to a major office of Spain's top bank, Santander Central Hispano, but there were no reports of injuries, officials said.

The fisherman may very well have legally been seal bombing. As a result though, it's evident since even the fisherman wasn't located, security for a renowned target is lacking.
