Found reference to the local (Chicago area) bomb threat
Purple Line evacuated after bomb threat

When I was in high school, my history teacher, who was Jordanian, was a rabid supporter of the Palestinian cause and tried to recruit me into the Arab-American Association, just because I am of Lebanese descent (gotta love the protest babes!). He assumed that I would think like him, although one of my best friends at the time was a Jewish kid in my class. I had more in common with him than I did with "Ali".
I can very easily see this kind of recruitment happening on an even more sinister scale these days.

Police investigating suspicious container in Princeton; Iowa man in custody
PRINCETON, Illinois A bomb squad has been called in to investigate a suspicious container found in a van at a Princeton gas station.
Police say a man drove into a Shell station just off of the Interstate 80 / Illinois 26 interchange around 3:30 a.m. The stations manager says the man told the attendant on duty that he had explosives and that he was going to Washington.
A truck driver tipped off police to the van. Police say the driver heard talk over CB radio about the van. He saw the van in Walcott, Iowa and followed the van roughly 80 miles until the van pulled into the Shell station.
While searching the van, police came across a suspicious container and called a bomb squad from Springfield. The Secret Service is also investigating the incident.
The vans driver, Terry Daniel, 44, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was taken to the Bureau County Jail.

I agree, he sounds like a nut case.
However, the threat must have been serious enough....since Secret Service is involved.
No info on nationality as of yet.
It is tough sometimes. Hope all is well, look forward to your posts. :)
Ferries Still On Alert After Terror Strikes (New London, CT)

I'd guess, he is just upset about the recent supreme court decision.

Interviewed neighbors of the English terrorists appeared shocked of their involvement. Wonder how many are among us and whether it will take attacks on us for our government to begin profiling ME immigrants and citizens despite political correctness such as held the British back. Lives are in the balance. The terrorists have ACLU and CAIR to protect them.
Following is a statement from Jeb Bush:
The Homeland Security Department must prepare the American people for the "permanent duty" of defending the homeland, he said. "The No. 1 priority of this government and of future governments will be to protect the American people against terrorist attack."

Great shot!
WOW!
I am a member of TB2K. The link you gave yesterday leads to a discussion about the letter from 2 years ago saying that it would start with a bombing in London. Just rehashing old material.
