they don't even know anything yet...
they will spend hours repeating a 60 second news story...
then they will bring in "experts" to repeat the information again......
I need duct tape....
Got enough illegals living nearby to know that our borders are a joke....
So, I have a pretty firm opinion that HSA is just staff filling the roster...

And showing the same old pictures over and over and over...............
Mmmmmmm. Tasty! Last time I was over in Hong Kong, they were having a scare about Malachite Green tainted eels from the mainland.....something about carcinogens. Who knew snakes and eels could be bad for you?

Greta was onboard that flight that was rerouted to Boston this morning.
She is having a full day.
I dunno, but I had the strangest premonition that the Port of Long Beach was going to be nuked this week or next last night. Then I read that article today, which is REALLY making me weird. Now this?
I think the whole thing with the planes was a setup by the way. I think it's just a red herring. I think the tracphones are for communication between terrorists and the US muslim community in general and not for a terror strike. The only want them because they have the LARGEST COVERAGE AREA in the US. In the event that specific carriers are disrupted to an attack or multiple attacks. Tracfone will have the most reliable service because of it's roaming capabilities.
Nuclear weapons are basically of gun-type, implosion-type, or fusion-type.
Gun-type bombs use explosives to smash a piece of fissile material into a larger piece of fissile material which leads to fission.
Implosion bombs are detonated by using high explosives to crush fissile material into itself which leads to fission.
Fusion bombs actually fuse lighter elements into heavier elements. This requires a lot of initialization energy. The energy required for fusion is obtained from detonating a small fission bomb (usually of implosion type) near elements that you want to fuse together.
From what I understand, all nuclear weapons have some sort of highly explosive material in them. However, I'm no expert.

The Brits are the ones who found the United Airlines tickets for 8/16 in the bombers apartments.

Now, in light of the recent cell phone buying sprees - another bit of info relating to the old Newark Smuggling / Rag Trade Plot and all is this :
JUNE 19, 2003 : (AL QAEDA NY BRIDGE PLOT CASE : OHIO TRUCKER FARIS ADMITTED GUILT & PLEA BARGAINED : HE HAD BOUGHT SLEEPING BAGS FOR AL QAEDA, RESEARCHED THE POSSIBLE USE OF ULTRALIGHTS, AND HELPED GET EXTENSIONS ON AIRLINE TICKETS FOR 6 TERRORISTS TO FLY TO YEMEN, DELIVERED MONEY & CELL PHONES) The two-count plea-bargain unsealed [today] showed that Faris admitted giving material support to al Qaeda and to joining a conspiracy to commit new acts of terror. The plea document describes numerous, more serious offenses with which he was not charged, which may indicate he has become a cooperating witness. Papers in the case were unsealed [today] in Alexandria federal court by U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, who also presides over the case of Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person yet charged with direct participation in the September 11 attacks. The plea document said Faris canceled plans for the bridge attack because security was too tight and its suspension cables did not seem vulnerable. Early this year, he dispatched a coded message that said, "The weather is too hot."
In addition to acting as a foot soldier who scouted targets, Faris admitted he bought 2,000 sleeping bags for al Qaeda terrorists and researched use of ultralight airplanes for the group.
He also said he disguised himself to visit a travel agent and obtain extensions on airline tickets for six al Qaeda agents' flights to Yemen, and delivered money and cell phones for the terrorist group. - "U.S. citizen secretly pleads guilty to scouting hit sites for al Qaeda ," by Frank J.

Inspector: "Pshaw! That's not on the bill of lading! Rejected!"
From inside container: "Ok. Swarthy middle-eastern men aged 19-35 planning a trojan horse terror attack."
Inspector: "Ah! Right then! Come on in!"
I can line you up with a fellow with several different colors of duct tape. He is looking to barter for plastic sheeting......
"I had the strangest premonition that the Port of Long Beach"
Don't even think that. I'm taking the family on a long anticipated trip to Disneyland in September. I want it to be still there when I arrive.
The CNN Pipeline feed of KING-TV helicopter video has ended. Maybe they need to refuel? So far, noone is going near those containers.
Disneyland would be there...just glowing.
