Just heard, apparently police are out in force after hearing of the threat
Well, it's past 5 pm on the East Coast, so they lost their opportunity to maximize casualities. The West Coast on the other hand....
LOL! Okay you have convinced me. We are dealing with bipartisan terrorists.

Have read somewhere that there is to be a press conference in about an hour, with the mayor of Boston.

Then we better start praying.
If they have pictures, why are we not seeing those pictures on TV?
I am amazed all the levity .....just amazed....
Yeah, some honor. Nanking, ring any bells? The Death Marches -- in the Phillipines and elsewhere? The unspeakable treatment of US prisoners?
Mass. Security Officials On Alert After Warning
FBI Investigates Uncorroborated Tip

BOSTON -- The FBI notified Boston area law enforcement Wednesday to be on the lookout for four people described as possible terror suspects who may be headed to the area.
A federal law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the matter remains under investigation, told The Associated Press that the FBI's joint terrorism task force has not yet corroborated a tip that the suspects entered the United States through Mexico in recent days, possibly bound for Boston.
The official stressed the tip is one of many from around the country that routinely are forwarded to local task forces for further investigation. No credible, specific terror threat has been identified in connection with the tip about suspects possibly entering the country from Mexico.
The investigation prompted Gov. Mitt Romney, who was in Washington to attend Thursday's presidential inauguration, to decided to return to Boston later Wednesday evening, his spokesman, Eric Fehrnstrom said. The governor planned to hold a news conference in Washington Wednesday night to discuss the matter before returning home.
FBI spokeswoman Gail Marcinkiewicz said the terror alert had not been raised for Boston.
"Basically, what you have here is information that we often get," she said. "It's uncorroborated at this time."
"It's been passed on to our law enforcement partners and we're working it aggressively," she said.
Among the law enforcement agencies alerted was the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, where Deputy Chief Paul MacMillan told the AP that an "alert bulletin" was issued to its officers, as well as subway, train, bus and station workers to be on the lookout for the individuals.
"There is no specific threat or target indicated," he said, declining to discuss the details further.
Bothersome indeed.
And when is 311 days from 3/11?
Aha, thanks. So the Gov. is having the press conf.
One more reason to throw a party for a coyote shoot!
2 days ago.
Well, hopefully someone willl ring Asa Hutchinson and David Dreier's necks if they see them in the next few days....Hugh Hewitt, the chief apologist also.
>>>The six are suspected of having come into the United States from Mexico, and may have headed to New York and then to Boston, the target of a planned attack that could involve a lethal substance, possibly chemical or biological or explosive, three law enforcement officials briefed on the threat said.
