That worked in the past, with terrorist events that were more abstract, with no surviving firsthand witnesses.

And before the Internet.

Actually I question the extent to which the "we gotta keep this knowledge out of the hands of the public" really exists.

Its the premise for the vast majority of conspiracy shows and "space invasion" shows on TV, so much so that it becomes sort of a cliche.

But the government is just too porous to keep such a secret, and there is a Mayer Bloomberg somewhere who is going to see it as his duty to protect citizens first and protect sources second.

If the FBI is sitting on this story, they are probably doing it to run down leads.

But that still leaves me wondering why the press is sitting on it.

"But that still leaves me wondering why the press is sitting on it."

Well, the subject of this thread pretty much lays it on the line. They think all us yahoos down in flyover country are going to start rioting and attacking ME people, if we ever find out what is actually happening. That's why the silence.

Funny thing is, if it ever comes down to that much social disorder, I'll wager it will happen in the big, old-line industrial cities. You know, the sort of places that already, routinely have riots after major sports events.

There is a new camera already installed at Gate 10 (I thought it was Gate 9 but checked today when I was on campus for something else). Anyone familiar with OK knows we have a lot of wind that blows around dirt and anything black and shiny doesn't stay that way for long that is why I assume this is a new camera at Gate 10. I did see video cameras focused on the back of the ticket books but at Gate 1 -- absolutely nothing and I mean nothing. I could not find any cameras on the gates except for Gate 10 which looked to be new along with the one now in the parking garage as you leave.

I did see a white truck working around Gate 7 and 8 when I drove by today -- the kind that installs satellite dishes, etc.

I could be wrong but I had someone with me today and they observed the same thing so we could both be wrong.
