yes....they will interview the high school teachers, who will all proclaim, how nice the boys were, and the neighbors, who will state, they were such nice kids, who would ever suspect such things....

"I don't fly anymore at all."
Well, although some must fly, many others can rearrange their lives and businesses to avoid the need. American tourists - see America first by car. American business persons - teleconference, Business skills upgrade training - distance learning. Not everything, but so many things can be reordered to avoid the need for flying.
On another note, the requirement that all battery powered devices, such as laptops, cameras, ipods, etc., will result in a huge jump in thefts from luggage.

Maybe one of our FReepers would have some idea on the hair dryers. I wonder if they would be used to melt some sort of solid to a liquid which could be used some how in a bomb in a liquid form. Do the planes have any 120volt outlets. Maybe they could mix a substance in with another substance and then hide the whole thing in some computer, head phones, etc. go back to the bathroom heat it up and kaboom, blow the whole plane up. You could hide a cream substance in practically any thing if you could form the substance in to shapes.
oh my mind is running wild now, hey you could strip the plug off of a hair dryer, strip the wires bare and then stick the wires in any type of outlet that would provide power, the wires heat up and kaboom, the substance would be in the hairdryer.

and lets hope we are not using any method of interrogation that could be construed as torture. Particularly as this is an ongoing terror plot and the arrested may have info that would save thousands if lives.
No sir! /sarc

No. Not even when the bombs land on their fool heads. It will always be Bush's fault, America's fault, the Republican's fault, the Jews' fault, the Christians' fault. These people are simply hopeless. I fear for our country and our lives if they EVER get back into power.

The `rats don`t want phone calls monitored because they are afraid they will be caught planning with Al-Qaeda. What other reason is there?

DOG: The threat is not over....don't think otherwise...bringing down the planes could have been a precurser to other parts of the plot.
The Sons of Liberty: "We must be prepared, there may be additional aspects to this plot."
Absolutely right. Combo events are a trademark of Al Qaeda.

I read DU regularly. Some of them have the ability to write intelligently. But the majority of them, I have come to think, simply hate America. And many of them are not American, although they do not reveal that fact. You can sometimes see their written language degenerate as they get angry and realize that English is not their first language. These people are not really responding to issues. They are trying to destabilize the US. They take whatever is in the news and development an argument about why it is the US/bush's fault. There is nothing rational about that dialogue. It has nothing to do with real dialogue. It's anonymous undermining of the US. Not all of them are like that. The honest DUers don't seem to realize the degree to which they have been hijacked.

My husband theorized just as you did that it was to change a solid to a liquid or act as a heat catalyst.
My theory is that they had subsequent ground-based actions planned, to add to the carnage, to target first responders, to make sure certain buildings were blown up.
I will find out if these were battery operated or not. I think so. The associate who was present when the manager searched the computer inventory commented that they could have gotten that quantity of hairdryer cheaper at wholesale and that they weren't for hotels, because those are permanently attached to the wall and so, are a different type not available retail as far as she knew.
Besides the previously published reports of large quantity phone buys, one of the pieces of information that alerted me was when they said they had to return to Michigan and implied they had some sort of deadline. I knew there was a large Muslim population in Dearborn and around Detroit.
Most people do not obsessively scour the news media or even know of FR and our various terror researchers. What will alert one of us will just be ignored by the majority as they have no context.
