Melanie, who is a broadcaster for KSFO, is all over this story about the rocket fired at the jet that took off from LAX. She's on live now and has the original broadcast of the incident. According to her, Homeland Security was contacted but is still saying that it was a bottle rocket.

yeahrightsure.... bottle rocket at 6,000 feet? Where do they buy their bottle rockets?????

[bored at work]

Thanks KylaStarr. Give me something to listen to here at work.

[Velveeta]

Darn, looks like I missed the show as Rush is on now.

Did Melanie say anything else of note?

Hundreds of Sydney Airport Security Passes Lost

HUNDREDS of security cards giving people access to restricted areas at Sydney airport are lost or stolen each year.
Qantas security boss Geoff Askew said yesterday thousands of Aviation Security Identification Cards were issued every year to people who work in restricted areas at Sydney airport, including the airstrip and baggage rooms.

But Australia's largest airline could not account for 384 of the cards, issued by the Department of Transport and Regional Services over the past two years, Mr Askew told federal parliament's public accounts and audit committee in Sydney.

Twenty-four of the cards, which expire next year, were indirectly stolen while the "vast majority" had been lost......

Notice from Laura's site:

November 28, 205: Ansar Jihad Mailing List Sends Advisory Announcing One Week Shutdown

The Ansar al Jihad mailing list has sent out an advisory suspending it's email group for a one week period.

Previously, after any major attack, there is a concerted effort to shut down the jihadi websites and forums. Occasionally the forums will lock down shortly before an attack and go into password protection mode.

It's hard to say whether we're seeing a concerted effort by the intelligence services of various countries to shut down these sites in the wake of the Amman bombings (as happened after the London bombings) or whether these sites are shutting down pre-emptively in anticipation of something else.

[British chick]

Ooooo, I don't like that! Thanks Vel. I have the strongest feeling yet that something is VERY IMMINENT. I really think something major will happen this year. I also noticed Jill's comment on her site that the forums seem to have gone quiet again, which can sometimes signal an attack.

[Velveeta]

I have the strongest feeling yet that something is VERY IMMINENT.

Me too. :(

[JellyJam]

I saw that story in our paper this morning ... thought it was odd that they would be announcing this so openly. Why do the police have to telegraph their plans?

[nw_arizona_granny]

LOL.....

There is one lady at KGO news that gets a zinger in every so often.

I still smile at the traffic report, all the accidents and then "Caution, on ___ freeway, there is a naked man walking on the right side".

That was all that she had to say about the dog and boy.

Nothing about the type of dog, or why the Police were involved in it, just that the boy was arrested for holding the neighbors dog for ransom.

[nw_arizona_granny]

You are correct, the blizzard in Colorado, Kansas and now several other states, was handy.

Nothing about the missile in Calif on the talk shows.
(that I heard).

I too, should have read down to this post.

Haven't gone back to see the X search, got too bogged down in the Yahoo one.
