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!

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.

That's an intriguing little story.

Well you know, "Jihad is global." - Cindy, et al...

[penguino]

I agree, Cindy, there's definitely a whiff of desperation out there at the moment, but that terrorism itself remains a bottomless pit. And who knows what that desperation will drive them to do?

I always enjoy reading your opinions.

[Cindy]

Well, good deal.
Fresh minds and fresh thoughts keep us on the cutting edge of terrorism prevention.

[Cindy]

Totally laughing...gosh darn it gal, are you reading my mind?

RUMOR...I heard on the radio tonight that one of the inmates tore a couple of the pages out of the Koran and plugged up the toilet as a protest.

I'm marking this as RUMOR because I don't know if it's true or not.

[Calpernia]

That story would make sense as for the birthing from the original rumor though.

[Cindy]

Thank you.

[Cindy]

Yep.

Getting a driver's license in Idaho is blazing fast compared to California. There is a small office in the county court house that issues license plates, registrations, driver's licenses and concealed weapons permits. It's a one stop service. No waiting for 2 to 3 weeks for stuff to arrive in the mail as is the case in California. A concealed weapons permit has a 90 day wait on initial issue and 30 days max on renewal. Change of title from another state to Idaho is usually back in your mailbox in 2 to 3 days.

The parties whining in the Idaho Statesman are from the Boise/Nampa area. That is the crowded side of the state to avoid.

I expect the RealID to be implemented with a stack of blank plastic cards with embedded RFID. The outside will probably have an optically scannable bar code with biometric info such as a retinal scan or finger print. The RFID serial number associated with your physical license will get recorded in a database. The same database they are using right now, but augmented with another field for the RFID.

Police seize ammunition, guns from Mundelein home (IL)

They seized 50 firearms and 600,000 rounds of ammo. The article claims "snipers" use tracer and armor piercing ammo. BS. Tracers are placed into belted ammo for night firing of machine guns to get a sense for where the rounds are striking. A sniper shoots a single, precisely aimed round at a single target. An AP round might be appropriate in special circumstances.

The whole story is a lot of sensationalist anti-gun pablum from an Illinois newspaper. Thanks to Mayor Daley and Gov Blagojevic for the continuous assault on 2nd amendment rights.

BTW, the 69 year old owner of the guns and ammo committed no crime except mere possession. No mention was made of whether the "machine gun" was a demilled curio and relic which is completely legal for anyone to own.

[Cindy]

Did you get an 8 year DL or a 4 year?

As for California, it's another country now, isn't it?

"Pentagon Finds No Evidence Koran Was Defiled"
By Patrick Goodenough

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "(CNSNews.com) - Protests were planned across Pakistan Friday as Muslim anger over the alleged desecration of the Koran by the U.S. military spread outwards from Afghanistan, where at least seven people have been killed in violent clashes with security forces.

The Pentagon said Thursday there is no evidence to support an allegation that a copy of the Islamic text had been flushed down a toilet "in an attempt to rattle suspects" held at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba. The brief item, citing an unnamed source, was published in Newsweek magazine.

General Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a briefing that a search of interrogation logs at Guantanamo had turned up no record of interrogators abusing the Koran.

There was one record - still to be confirmed - of a guard reporting that one of the detainees had been "ripping pages out of the Korean and putting them in the toilet to stop it up, as a protest," he said."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "SOUTH OF ALAMO - Border Patrol officers take fire from across the Rio Grande at the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge.

SOUTH OF ALAMO – Border Patrol agents come under automatic weapons fire from across the Rio Grande after finding a truck being loaded with drugs at the Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge south of Alamo.

No agents were injured in the exchange. All Border Patrol agents in the area, as well as all local law enforcement agencies responded to the scene. It is unknown if agents were able to wound their attackers across the border."

Man who acted suspiciously near dam is not charged

(Original publication: May 13, 2005)


No charges will be brought against a Patterson man whom police and FBI agents stopped in Scarsdale on Wednesday after he was seen driving near the Kensico Reservoir and Dam wearing a Kevlar helmet and body armor. The Westchester County Bomb Squad subsequently blew up a knapsack found in the man's car.

"As far as we're concerned the matter is closed,'' FBI Agent James Margolin said yesterday. "The gentleman is not being charged with any federal or local crimes and has been referred to mental health officials for evaluation.''

The 43-year-old man, who has not been identified, was stopped by White Plains police and FBI task force members at Post and Gorham roads about 10:20 a.m. after a member of the task force followed him from Route 22 in North White Plains through White Plains and across the Scarsdale border. When the man got out of his gray sport utility vehicle police shot him with a stun gun. They said he refused repeated orders to stop walking toward them.

For the next four hours police and bomb specialists searched his car, which was later impounded. A knapsack containing wires, batteries and a computer circuit board was blown up and several canisters found in the car were taken away for further examination. No explosives were found.

The man was questioned for several hours at White Plains police headquarters before he was taken to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla for a psychiatric evaluation. He remained at the medical center yesterday.

That poor 'gentleman'.
