Baby carriages?

Does this imply the operatives are women?

USC/Notre Dame game coming in a week at South Bend. What Satan-worshipping Islamist wouldn't want to cause panic in a packed stadium under the image of Touchdown Jesus? I would consider it a crackpot theory unti last week. Disaffected white men are probably most accessible on college campuses...

Unless we stop being PC and search everyone that looks middle eastern we are doomed. Heck, I look somewhat middle eastern and I've never been searched. Even when carrying large bags.

However, anyone that really wants to place a bomb and is willing to die for it will do it. It isn't a question of if but when.

I hope this is all BS and nothing happens. I was going to take the subway today(my 1st day back to NYC in 2 months) but I might change to a taxi or the bus. Be safe everyone.

Chemists.

Not good.

Armed with some of the missing WMD, no doubt. And didn't the article mention they were passing through Syria? Hmmm...

I don't see too many strollers on the subways. Especially during rush hours.

It probably wouldn't be too hard to search them all.

Be very suspicious of immigrant hot dog venders lugging their rolling stands down the subway stairs.

they've been caught lately dressing like women, so who knows. Very easy to hide that way the way they cover up.

Interesting post from NYC GOP blogger:

http://gopandthecity.blogspot.com/2005/10/security-threat-nyc.html

"I got this email forwarded to me on Tuesday (10/4/05) from a coworker. I sent it on to Snopes and some other NYC Bloggers as a potential hoax. Look who's not laughing now.

I do not send out mass emails as games or jokes so PLEASE take this seriously. As some of you know my father works for HomelandSecurity, at a very high position and receives security briefings on a daily basis. I received a call from him Monday Oct 3, 2005 and it was a brief call and did not contain a lot of details. The only information that I can pass on is that everyone should at all costs not ride the subway for the next 2 weeks in the major areas of NYC, that means Grand Central, Times Square, Herald Square, Union Square areas. I know that seems crazy but do take his advice if at all possible. I am not at will or able to discuss anything more than that. I was not allowed to ask him any questions but he called with grave concern for the safety of myself and Heather. He said I could tell friends exactly what I have said above and that is it.
I am sorry that I cannot give any more details. He also said that he would inform me as soon as the threat at hand has passed and when we can go back to normal life.
Best wishes,
-------Name witheld-----"

"Why would he need an atlas anyway? And why wasn't it in the glove compartment?"

I know these are serious questions but I had to chuckle when it occurred to me what an FBI agent would think if he looked in my car. It kind of looks a lot like my old high school locker.

Everybody isn't being searched. It's like every 5th, or 10th person in line being searched in NYC.

Oh NO!!!! Profiling /sarc

The thing is that if we are talking about 19 bombs here. The 19 terrorists don't even have to get into the subway. If the random searches cause any kind of a back up at the entrance to the subway then they could just shoulder through to the middle of the crowd and detonate. There's a reason that so many bombs go off at "check points" in Iraq.

And if just 2 or 3 of the 19 terrorists are successful, they will have done what they set out to do. That is "terrorize".

Now, if they really wanted to cause a stir, they should just go to that window outside The Today Show studio and when the camera lights come on, hold up a "Allah Akbar" sign and push the button. Katie might just feel compelled to report on it.

Interesting. So DHS guy privately tells his family to stay away from those areas, while everyone else is told to go about their business as usual.
