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!

***Limerick Nuclear Plant Videotaped***

Dec 28, 2004 12:09 pm US/Eastern
PHILADELPHIA (KYW) CBS 3 has learned four men were taken in for questioning by the FBI after videotaping the Limerick Nuclear Power Plant in East Coventry Township, Chester County.

Investigative Reporter Walt Hunter has learned a deliveryman spotted the group taping the plant through the windshield of their car and became suspicious. The man called police while following the group from an industrial parking lot to a nearby park where they reportedly continued taping while crossing a bridge and walking along a boat ramp.

After viewing the tape and interviewing the men, the FBI determined there was no link to terrorism explaining that the group was merely sightseeing. However, three of the four were taken into custody for a possible immigration violation.

Limerick Nuke Plant is one of the top tourist attractions in the United States, right behind Disneyworld and the Grand Canyon. Nothing to see here folks, move along.

My bad. Thanks for setting me straight. ;-)

One of my sales reps lives in Ramsey. She's about a mile from the building but wasn't aware of the incident until I called her. She is in the real estate biz, and although not her office, she knows the folks who work there. Needless to say she was stunned and upset. I'll post more once I hear back from her.

On the topic of airlines, does anybody have second thoughts about the baggage problems in Philadelphia? Most likely it was simpply disgruntled USAir employees. But I really wonder about the massive nature of the problem and also why ASAir moved all the luggage out of Philadelphia to sort it. In a related issue, has anybody else had big problems recently with overnight air delivery?
