California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, New Jersey and Oregon......

But why was the report not more specific? What floor plans did they have? I guess we're not allowed to know such things.

The terrorists at Beslan had apparently rehearsed their plan repeatedly. They arrived with two sentry dogs, gas masks, hand-held radios, plenty of firepower, and even had pre-stored supplies.

Let's not forget that the raw number of human operatives the terrorists had in Beslan greatly added to the problems faced by any commando response. 32 or so terrorists present a much greater problem than six or eight.

The Beslan bombs while lethal were not as potent as they might have been. If the terrorists want to just cause casualties in a school attack then they could use bombs without a school takeover. Delivery personnel and their trucks have to be viewed with suspicion. but even a smalll economy car could house a large bomb.

I think that's probably a clue as to why they picked schools in these particular districts, and these particular states.

My thinking:

Either the terrorists were planning for shopping mall attacks or school attacks before the election.

Both will kill innocents -- just like 9-11.

I want to know that too. It chaps me the government doesn't trust us to help. If someone had floor plans, etc, then they had to have been sculking around these schools. Next question? Do we already have muslim terroist living in our neighborhoods masquerading as parents, neighbors, etc? One the other hand, I've watched a few and they all act suspicious. Just hope they all understand that if there's another school bombed, the internment camps are waiting.
