Now that you mention it, where is the Louisiana legislature?
you don't know that .. stores have been looted remember ..
No. No. Horrible.
"I think you vastly overestimate our significance"
Like I said, it was an opinion. Agree with you on the bad guys listening, altho at this point, probably electronic stores have been hit too. It is hard to imagine MSM bubble heads listening to scanners, tho;)
Now we have pedophiles on the loose.
Anyone know what happened with that retirement home the guy from the Weather Channel was staying at? I must have missed it if there was news...
Governor is on WWL right now. She thinks she is a toughie today. Someone has taken the time to teach her how to present herself at a press conference, but she is still making number errors.
Question of the day.
EOC News Conference:
Governor Blanco:
Evacuation efforts at the dome continue
The dome is secure and under controller.
Hundreds of busses heading to NO.
Signed Executive Order invoking Emergency Powers to requisition school busses.
Our biggest concern is ground transportation (reall? not looting?)
Gov. Blanco is saying they now have the LA. School Busses to use. Uh, that should have been on Saturday Missy.
Ebbert is charged with coordinating the city's terrorism response capabilities and obtaining federal and state funds for homeland security. He also will oversee the police and fire departments, the Office of Emergency Preparedness and city Emergency Medical Services, and the 911 Center or Orleans Parish Communications District.

Want to guess who appointed him?
Looks like HE has dropped the ball, doesn't it?
Having worked with law enforcement, I can tell you that they are not on the public channels relaying detailed info. That's why there is so little chatter. The most you hear is a request for help. There is no feedback afterwards because they use different channels.
I doubt the bad guys can figure out a scanner. These aren't sophisticated terrorists.
This reply I'm making isn't to start some discussion, or flame war. So, respectfully...
I haven't heard Chertoff, or any other announcement. Someone else posted the FEMA directives on this thread a way back. In short Chertoff's full of it and so is Gonzales.
Here's an historical event that Chertoff seems to have missed, or is diliberately ignoring:
Johnson overruled Wallace and sent fed troops down to Alabama to uphold 18USC 24X whatever after a SCOTUS ruling against the State of Alabama. Fed troops escorted some kids into school and guarded them in the halls of that school.
If the USDOD can be used as friggin' hall monitors, then the USDOD can be used to straighten out this sit.
FOX went to the President instead.
Has martial law been declared or not?
if it's a seperate freq, ok, but dangit, I just hate for that stuff to go out over the radio ... in the military that'd be considered classified info, even going over modern crypto equipment..
It survived, everyone was fine after the water went away.
Pres. Bush on C-span now..
Yes, Congress is convening an emergency session. That's why I posted their phone number. They need to hear from the nation. Now President Bush is talking about gas prices. (no matter, my car was totalled - I have no car right now.)
Excellent point. And each new crisis seems to get a little more angry and better armed. And the lefties are fueling the fire with the 'oppression' rhetoric and their freebies. The riots in LA in 92 are another example of seizing any moment for violence and anger. I remember how the left threw out excuses and money at that one.
One person went to the River Center where there was trouble and said it felt "dangerous". The people were rude, shoving, rough, argumentative. They were not surprised there was troulbe. Plus they were grabbing things sort of indiscriminately and throwing away half eaten sandwiches, etc. She said she had not seen such waste in a time of urgency.
