SANTA MONICA — Santa Monica police say suspicious activity has drawn their attention to three men, recently spotted on the Santa Monica pier.

Detectives say three Middle Eastern individuals were videotaping the pier in a suspicious manner. It happened three weeks ago. Apparently, a citizen saw the trio taking pictures at the pier and the surrounding area. That citizen then called police.

The same three individuals were also seen taking suspicious video in two other communities. The individuals have been identified, but no arrests have been made. Police are releasing few details about the case.

I shot a hazmat waste training video at the WTI plant in Ohio about 8 or 9 years ago.

Okay, second hazmat waste disposal plant to go up in recent days. It's not that hard to secrete an explosive payload in a hazwaste container, label it as something else, and send it on its way. These trucks pick up the container, which is sealed at the sender's site, and store until it is either burned or neutralized in some way.

Good posts all4one. Thanks for the information.

Seems to be several plots have been thwarted. This mean 'GO' signals have already been given. How many more plots are in the operational phase now?

Folks, I've got the jitters. No joke.

Just came back from walking Clyde. There is a pumpkin orange crescent moon out tonight. Peeked out after a pretty good storm. Also, a helicopter just passed overhead with two independently directed spotlights. Just as it passed both light's where turned off. I found that strange. Never seen anything like it before.

Hesitant about giving locations or directions on a public forum.

The FBI is pretty nervous 'bout fuel trucks. Propane trucks?

Heads up y'all.

Wasn't the plant in Romulus also a Hazardous Waste Disposal plant?

I notice the one in Ohio is, I think there were a couple more.......

Could they have the right stuff there for making people sick while it is exploding?
