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
Details show extent of terror plot against U.S.
Full Story

We now know more about an alleged attack that triggered an increased national threat level last summer.

That's when U.S. officials said they had uncovered a plot targeting financial institutions. The plot involved bombs, banks and British nationals.

The detail was startling, the targets enormous. They included financial buildings in Washington, New York and New Jersey.

I just heard from another source that they think it's unidentified military jets? I'm confused.. not much solid news thus far.

People being allowed back into White House according to FOX.

The intensity of the responses lately (this is the second incident in the past month), suggests that there may be intelligence pointing to a aircraft source assault on a target.

It did seem as if they might be especially worried about something, with a running evac ordered. Fox just showed video of the jets screaming overhead while people run from the area.. It's gotta be nerve wracking for those in the city.

All in all, I'm glad they responded so well. At least they are better prepared now.

On fox they are all complainging about the process and
procedure, or lack their of. I have worked in the school
system way too alon. In the schools you have a plan for
each scenario practiced over and over. I can't believe the
capitol and white house after 9/11 do not have procedures
down pat.

Might not be perfect, but it's better than what the old plan was.. There should be an evac plan for the senate though, that doesn't make sense. At least we have the planes ready to go now, but shooting something down over a residential area or city cannot be planned so well I'd guess.

>> It did seem as if they might be especially worried about something <<

I noticed that too.

My own words came back to haunt me. Had a great morning climbing and then the evac reports. I was thinking to myself, I'm not ready for this. Of course I have my kit in the car, but that report brought flashbacks of 9/11/01.

And Congratulations on your Graduation!

IMO opinion, I would want them screaming get out and issue
a running evacuation. I don't think people would react
as quickley if you just said, o.k. guys looks like we might
need to evacuate but there is no hurry, take your time,
it's just a small plane loaded with explosives, you have
plenty of time.

I agree with you totally. The lawmakers always complain about everything.

Everyone did the best they could. In emergencies, we cannot expect all to run smoothly. The lawmakers should just shut up and improve the plans/systems behind the scenes instead of whining in front of reporters and cameras.

but that report brought flashbacks of 9/11/01.

I'm sure it did for a lot of us, and as tmp02 mentioned this morning... it is 5/11/5. Some number combos still make me think. ;)

In the schools you have a plan for each scenario practiced over and over.

That is the key - practice. It is hard to shut down government for an evacuation drill. However, I think they'll be moving quickly to such activity. Prepare to hear the whining from the senators and reps. On the military side, the response was well worked out as aircraft were in the air and there on the money.

Well, duh.............it just dawned on me that 9/11/01 and 5/11/05 both add up to 21.

I feel stupid.
