UK Aircraft diverted to Italy - bomb scare
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1685889/posts
As I posted in that thread, I think this is probably just more hysteria.
I am of the belief that when they strike, it will likely be very apparent. How many times has a scare been followed up with an explosion?
Seems this flight had a note indicating bomb on board.
I agree with you, when 'it' happens, there won't be a note - it will just happen.
These types of incidents sure do cause plenty of disruption and monetary costs associated with it.
>>>I see you posted yet another airline story.
Can't even go for a walk without something happening....
Bizarre...

A man knocked on the door of the fire station near the corner of San Ramon Way and San Marin Drive in Novato at about 11:30 p.m.
A firefighter answered and saw a man wearing goggles and surgical gloves and holding a gallon-sized bag with a white powdery, crystal-like substance inside. The man tried to hand the firefighter the bag but the firefighter refused. The man turned and ran to a car where a second person and they drove away. (snip)

Rakan Bin Wilyamz
~it's an anagram~
Not sure if I have all the letters arranged correctly, probably worth playing with it a bit:
Zarkawi Milan NY B = Rakan Bin Wilyamz
Is the anagram related to the hazmat story?
No, it goes back in time a bit.

Yeah, it's a bit quiet - but like a well-worn slipper, everyone knows we'll be here when you need it most. :-)
....."we'll be here when you need it most"........
How true.
I'm counting on it.
That's true. :-)
Still got a wealth of info with the posters here!
Me too. ;-)

Weird BOLO just came over the police scanner here in Central PA - "BOLO for 4 Ambulances with California tags travelling at a high rate of speed"!!!
That's one to give a bit of concern.
Anyone else heard anything like this?
