The Threat Matrix
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!

ATLANTA (CNN) -- As more than one billion Muslims prepare to celebrate Ramadan, terror experts are mixed about whether the holy month is a tool for recruiting terrorists. Some terrorism experts and Islamic scholars say Ramadan gives extremists an opportunity to enlist new recruits. "It's a time which can be exploited by radical clerics to motivate individuals into taking action on the basis they are somehow serving their religion," says terror expert M.J. Gohel. And analysts see another temptation for terrorists: exploiting the Battle of Badr, a symbolic date in Muslim history, which falls near the U.S. presidential election. |

You're welcome all4one. On this issue I am truly irate. The policy of letting ME type groups cause fear among fellow passengers and use the bathrooms in tandem for God knows what purpose (or just stand guard outside them) while another of them uses it must be dealt with immediately. Some airlines already prohibit standing at restrooms.
The airlines have us by our throats. If we choose not to fly when multiple MEs are boarding the same flight, we may not reach destinations for days. Hotel and/or auto reservations also affected, possibly at higher rates so we "ACCEPT" policies and procedures that may cost us our very lives. The flight attendants read the seat belt and evacuation procedures on each flight while the most certain danger we face these days on an airplanes is not readable on a placard inside the seatback. It is visible to OUR eyes, but invisible to those charged with airline safety and security.
The airlines and the security agencies know full well that sooner or later one or more of these flights will crash or be exploded. By doing nothing after they have been told repeatedly planes are being surveiled and terrorists are being readied, the airlines and these agencies must accept full liability not only for loss of life but incompetence and inaction after having been forewarned about incidents set forth by so many passengers.

"Army ammo plant explodes in West Tennessee"

Regarding your Houston link, it doesn't appear "they get it" yet for airline safety. We are betrayed by those whose jobs are to protect us. They mock our concerns and protect the very people who plan to kill us all. With ME types controlling what occurs in airline cabins, why do they even bother with security checks at the airports? One cancels out the other.This must be repeated, MamaDearest.

From your link "Terrorists are making fake bomb threats and watching our responder's reactions. I think it's very important to carefully read this article:
FBI says bogus threats may come from terrorists wanting to observe safety procedures
KREM 2 News Erik Loney reports
SPOKANE -- There's a new terror warning from the Federal Bureau of Investigation about how fake bomb threats could be the new training ground for terrorists. The Spokane County Sheriff's office is preparing for an increase in bogus calls after learning terrorists might be trying to learn our safety secrets from the false alarms.
The sheriff is training his detectives and SCOPE volunteers to respond to bomb threats. This new squad will not be sent into the danger zone. Instead, they will be sent out to search for anyone who may be observing law enforcement operations.
Two months ago, a caller with a middle eastern accent claimed someone had planted several suitcase bombs inside the Spokane Valley Mall. Sheriff's deputies responded to the scene in force, but found nothing.
Now the FBI is warning that the person who made the call could have been hiding in the shadows, watching how authorities responded to the threat. "They're standing back and watching our response and doing surveillance on how we respond to these kind of calls," said Spokane County Sheriff Mark Sterk.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has warned that false bomb threats may be the work of terrorists wanting to observe law enforcement safety procedures.
Sheriff Sterk said his office is preparing for a possible increase in bomb threats at places like schools, hospitals and malls. They are training a group of detectives and volunteers in counter surveillance. "They will be paged like the bomb squad, and SWAT," Sterk told KREM 2 News. "And we'll direct them where we want them to go."
Sterk said he does not know if terrorists made the Spokane Valley Mall bomb threat, but he said his squad would be ready the next time a threat comes in. "We know they plan for years and years," Sterk explained. "They do lots of surveillance before they commit acts of terrorism. That's why we need to gear up and be better prepared for it."
Sterk noted their intelligence has informed them that terrorists are changing their tactics.
****The FBI is concerned about the possibility of eight, nine or ten coordinated attacks in middle America as much as another attack to a large metropolitan city.****

"FBI says bogus threats may come from terrorists wanting to observe safety procedures "
The Omni Hotel in downtown Chicago received one today, via mail. Couldn't track it all the way on the scanner because Chicago PD used the PDT (in car computer) for most of the communication. But they dispatched one unit and immediately sent a supervisor.
They are probing.
