~~~~STARTS?????~~~~
It's as if the TSA and other government agencies are operating in slow motion and haven't been officially notified there are terrorists, spies and evildoorers lurking among us. It's the same mentality that prevents us from true terrorist screening at airports. Heaven forbid a foreigner or suspicious person gets upset with being asked questions or subjected to additional screening!
Rash of Truck Thefts Plaguing San Joaquin County
The talk among truckers on San Joaquin County highways isn't just about traffic or diesel prices. They're concerned about the rash of truck thefts in the county.
Since the beginning of April, 27 semi truck-trailer rigs have been stolen from truck yards or off the street, according to the California Highway Patrol. Truckers, however, estimate the number is actually closer to 50.
