Looks like we finally made DRUDGE

2 News links up now...

The reason why there will be no declared official terrorist attacks (dispite all evidence of it happening)is that Bush is worried that the economy will tank if one is actually declared.

The only way there will be a "terrorist attack" is that it is so huge it cannot be covered up like what happened on 9/11.

I wish he were more honest with us. It will only not trust the government in the future if they are covered up.

Oh man. They should have given her a swirly while they had her in there. She would have come out looking like a great big swirl-topped smurf. "She resisted - no really!"

I believe the center fuel tank almost blew up, but they stopped it, just in time.

Yes it has.

I've written an occasional scathing letter to various station managers. I just might write my first piece of fan mail about television news.

Remember that 9-11 started when terror teams boarded at podunk airports to make their connections at the major hubs. There are enough muzzies in the USA to have scoped out virtually every airport in the country to plan where to start a bombing run, probably somewhere in the backwoods where they observe that hick infidels aren't as vigorous in security screening or capability.

I guess waiting for solid information once again paid off. Wouldn't you agree?

As of 5pm, Tri-State Airport in Wayne County resumed operations. The airport had been evacuated since after 11 this morning.

The Transportation Security Administration reports that two containers of liquid in a passenger's carry-on bag tested postive for explosive residue around 9:15 this morning. A second test was confirmed at 11:25. TSA is waiting for further testing to determine the exact substance.

NBC News reports that federal screeners found four containers of liquids inside a woman's carry-on bag during the screening process this morning. Larry Salyers, Tri-State Airport Director, tells WSAZ the woman is of Pakistani origin, lived in Jackson, Michigan and most recently lived in the Huntington area. She is being detained for questioning.

A federal official says the containers were make-up bottles, and it's not known yet exactly what was inside. However, the official says the woman did seem to have legitimate reasons for traveling and did not fit any suspicious behavioral profile.

The trace analyzers detect minute amounts of explosive material. But they can also give positive readings on items that have come in contact with fertilizer, recently dry-cleaned clothes, and even hot dogs -- anything with nitrate compounds.

The flight in which the woman was going to board was on its way to Charlotte, North Carolina with a final destination of Detroit, Michigan.

FBI officials are on scene.

One flight was diverted to Yeager Airport in Charleston.

WV Senator Robert Byrd's office sent out this statement late Thursday afternoon.

“This is proof positive that it doesn’t pay to scrimp on homeland security in rural areas. We must not discount an airport or a chemical plant just because it happens to be in a rural state. Fortunately, it appears that an event with potential for serious consequences and calamity has been thwarted. If not for the keen vigilance of the well-prepared security personnel at Tri-State Airport, other resources would have been brought to bear including local firefighters, law enforcement, emergency medical personnel, trauma suites at local hospitals, and the entire public health system. All must be fully trained and properly equipped to respond to a variety of disasters,” said Senator Robert C. Byrd.

We'll continue to update you on NewsChannel 3 and on WSAZ.com.

Muslims walk or swim, until they can convince the rest of us that they are in fact civilized. Thus far, the available evidence proves the contrary.

If it was a dry run, then it sends good signals - the US is prepared

You are correct, and even more so, since this was a relatively small town and small airport, and yet they caught this.

Here's another update:

The 28-year-old woman was heading to Detroit.

The TSA says she is originally from Pakistan.

It appears that if she could clear this small airport, she could be inside the larger airports like Detroit and never be screened again. Pretty scary.

I've written an occasional scathing letter to various station managers. I just might write my first piece of fan mail about television news.

I've never been more engrossed nor entertained by local TV news before. I have a feeling they may not have intended to broadcast the camera feed to the live stream the whole time, but I thoroughly enjoyed the "behind the scenes" peek.

I really did feel like I was right there with the news crew waiting for the lady to be brought out. I might send them a kudo or two myself.

I gave up after the pizza guy showed up, and the mass butt-shots of the still photogs. Did they film a "perp walk"?

Was this one of the two aircraft you are talking about?

About TWA-800, I just don’t believe all the conspiracy theories out there. Conspiracy theories just annoy me because they usually have no proof and claim the most outlandish things.

I do not believe that TWA-800 was shot down by a missile. Excluding the eyewitnesses, which are nearly worthless in air crash investigations, there is no evidence of a missile.

Until I see evidence of an explosive device, I will go along with the NTSB’s findings. And before anyone says such an event is impossible, two other aircraft with the same design of the center fuel tank, also spontaneously exploded.

Thanks for the response. I'm not generally a conspiracy guy, but I've been a bit skeptical of the NTSB conclusions, mostly because it seemed so unlikely for wiring installed in a fuel tank to be capable of causing an explosion. It still seems really odd. Do you have any info on the other two events you cite? I'd be interested in reading up on them.

We have to be right 100% of the time, the terrorist, only once.

That statement came from Condi Rice.
