Tuscola County prosecutors filed terrorism-related charges Saturday against three men who they say bought dozens of cell phones Friday in Caro in a globally coordinated plot involving the Mackinac Bridge.
They charged brothers Adham Abdelhamid Othman, 21, and Louai Abdelhamied Othman, 23, along with their cousin, Maruan Awad Muhareb, 18, with identical counts of collecting material to support terrorist acts and surveillance of a vulnerable target with intent to committ terrorism.

The planes may have been only the tip of the iceberg, could be more fireworks planned, elsewhere.
(As a side note, we were in Vegas the 3ird week of July, some strange muslem types walking around in NYNY. I enjoy spending a little time plane watching while the wife is still in the hotel room primping. There was a very strange person at the airport observation parking lot on Sunset, he was very secretive - he hung a shirt up on his window to block his face, and occasionally looked at me, I only was able to see his "sunglasses". Being an informed Freeper, I was concerned, I went to the post office near there, a postal (passport) clerk suggest I drive by, if he was there go to the gas station and call 311 to report him. He was gone when I drove by.
After the events unfolded last Thursday, I was concerned that I was not able to report him, BTW: his older white Caddy was LOADED down with weight!)

With respect, you likely don't live on an isolated island in Lake Michigan as I do. It is a small step, in my mind, from isolating an island by dropping a bridge to isolating an island by disabling a ferry.
The USCG here are children strutting their sidearms, buzzcuts, bloused BDUs and tattoos. Beardless children.

The planes may have been only the tip of the iceberg, could be more fireworks planned, elsewhere. The way events are unfolding here and across the Atlantic, I'm beginning to think the planes were indeed just the tip of the iceberg.

Wouldn't it be ironic if everytime one of those phones was used, Mecca would blow up again?

I think rolling mass callings of all cell numbers periodically would keep Islamo's on their toes...if they happened to be assembling their little "toys" and a call went thru at the wrong time....kablooey! We would find out real qickly where various terrorist cells "HAD BEEN"!(snickers)!

We have a bridge here, going to South Padre Island , that was accidently hit by a barge and a section knocked out. It shut the town down.

Where are they going to get the 10 tons (or so) of high explosives to attach to all these detonators? The explosive of choice for Islamic terrorists these days seems to be TATP (tri-acetone-tri-peroxide). It's insanely sensitive and unstable (like its makers), but can be made with easily-available ingredients
Shoe bomber Richard Reed, the Oklahoma University suicide bomber of last year, and the UK plane bombers of this week all were using TATP

there is no way we can allow anonymous purchases of activated, untraceable cell phones - for cash - all over the united states. they must be outlawed. You are going to be very, very busy outlawing all communications. FRS, CB, HAM, and- get this - ALL VoIP and wireless data communications. No more wireless data for you. Somebody could hook up a wireless modem, Blackberry, or who knows what. Oh, I know! We need to register ALL communications devices. We can call it a "CDOID". Communications Device Owner IDentification. BRILLIANT! Let's petition Congress to expand the TSA, or create a sub-group called C(ommunications)SA.
But wait, there's more! Since we Americans are so hopelessly pathetic and stupid, we must have government mandated electrical blackouts for residential users. That is the only way to be sure that the old "black market" devices will fail. Is it real or sarcasm?

You're frightening.
I'm guessing you would disagree with both these men:
"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. "
Benjamin Franklin
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

Thank God for the Coast Guard:) I grew up in a little town on the Atlantic where the USCG was revered.

Yes, I think we'll be seeing some serious restrictions on cell phones in the coming months.
The enemy is living freely among us, in large numbers, and plotting all sorts of mayhem and murder. They are almost invariably young Muslim men, citizens or otherwise. It is quite possible that there is a plan in the works for multiple, simultaneous attacks all across the United States, sometime in the near future.
When this is all said and done, these young men might have to be physically removed from our country, if we are to survive. A declaration of martial law would be a foregone conclusion if we were to suffer a truly devastating attack, and I don't believe America would stand for any of these young men remaining among us to continue to threaten us any further. Neither would we stand for their mosques continuing to preach hate and destruction every Friday afternoon.
This is not what the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of religion was meant to protect. Practicing one's religion does not include the right to commit mass murder.
