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!
Threat Matrix - Daily Terrorism Threat

Connect these dots, now
Full Story
"We should have secured the Mexican border."

That could be the pitiful lament we hear from negligent U.S. officials if Al Qaeda pulls off an attack on the United States using weapons of mass destruction smuggled across our southern frontier.

Were that horrendous event to happen, leaders in the administration and Congress would be justly hit with the same question that was perhaps unjustly cast at them and their predecessors after the unprecedented Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks: Why didn't they connect the dots?

Doesn't sound like his plane needed much help crashing, though, based on the company's record.

Two men killed Tuesday night in a small corporate jet's crash west of St. Louis brings to 22 the number of people who have died in FIVE Missouri plane crashes since mid-October. A look at the earlier crashes:

Don't know about most recent crash, but the three previous ones all occurred during multiple landing attempts. Planes had aborted at least once and gone around for another pass before trading paint with ground.

Sounds like a training issue to me.

V....it looks like this guy has the same MO as those other Middle Eastern type companies that were discussed earlier this month. Remember the Islamic company in FLA that had over 160 entities, and was trying to evict the Christian school from one of it's properties.

This Cheema guy had Grand Aire, Czars, Snowflakes, Tri-Coastal, Aadvantage Aviation....and I am sure that the list goes on from there. It seems that once you have financial problems, the FAA and NTSB are checking into your business practices...the best thing to do is create a new business name and keep collecting the cash.

Grand Aire jet skids into runway wall in Akron (February 2004)

A Grand Aire Express jet ran into a concrete wall on a runway near Akron last week. It was the second incident in 21/2 weeks for the Toledo-based air charter firm.

No one was hurt, but the plane sustained "substantial" damage, the FAA said.

The plane is officially registered to Tri Coastal. It is a new corporation created by Grand Aire Express that does business as Grand Aire and is based at the same address as the Swanton company, according to FAA spokesman Elizabeth Isham Corey.

Grand Aire owner Tahir Cheema, meanwhile, has begun another air transport company in Montgomery, Ala., known as Aadvantage Aviation, Inc.

Calls for comment were referred to general manager Bruce Marshall, who did not return phone calls.

Sure do.

Something is just very wrong here.

BTW, the Grand Aire hangar was John Kerry's LAST campaign stop before the election....

(gotta run, hope to be back later)

According to the Grand Aire Web site, the company's Falcon 20s represent half of its 26-plane fleet. The plane is owned by Czars, Inc., of Wilmington, Del.

I am wondering if this could be done by explosives. It sure fits in with terrorist intentions. We now have major economic and enviromental damage.
