Hi V....it seems that since 9/11 there have been more than a few incidents in and around this area with regard to IIRC munitions being found, videotaping et. al. Once I have a little time I will try to post the previous incidents.
Inside the Kansas Threat Integration Center
TOPEKA, Kan. - (KRT) - In an underground room of the State Defense Building, behind two locked doors, an office hums with activity.
Inside this concrete bunker left over from the Cold War, two televisions flicker with images from CNN and Fox News. A bank of glowing computers lines one wall. Another is adorned with maps of Iraq and Kansas, just two of the places where the Kansas National Guard now serves.

In one bulletin this summer, for example, officers learned of bomb threats at four Wal-Mart stores in Kansas, a person using a bogus name to apply to be a flight instructor in Wichita, an ultralight aircraft flying over a nuclear power plant in Iowa. It is up to law enforcement authorities to determine whether the incidents are connected.

The CBBT has been touted for many years as a tourist attraction, so a laminated picture may not be that unusual. What the heck did the Arabic writing say, though? If it said, "Dear Fatima, you're right, this is a magnificent achievement and truly one of the seven modern wonders..." it's a lot different from "Place the device here." That said, I would love to be the guy who votes a terrist off the second island into the path of an oncoming DDG.

The family name Artavazd Janshyan has a history in Armenian politics.
I have not been able to make a Positive ID of the individuals involved in the traffic stop of the Georgetown incident, so these may be different people entirely.
Very possible these individuals were actually ME's with false ID's.
I don't understand why they are searching for them when they were stopped the officers found the suspicious items in the car. Did they let them go?
The car was traveling about 82 mph in a 60-mph zone, Waites said.
The driver of the vehicle was identified as Artavazd Janshyan, Waites said. The passenger in the car was identified as Hovhannes Poghosyan.After searching the car, investigators found a video camera, a digital camera, electronic wires, several VHS tapes with foreign markings and a large laminated picture of the Chesapeake Bay Tunnel, Waites said.
