'Terrorists could be testing airline'
[ 17 Sep, 2006 1242hrs ISTPTI ]
Strategic experts have warned that some of the recent security incidents in different parts of the world involving aircraft and airports could be 'testers' by terrorists.
Though some of these airline security incidents could be results of 'genuine innocence' of first-time travellers, the experts have asked the airlines and aviation authorities not to ignore them as some of them could be terrorist probes with actual imminent threats.
They have also pointed out that there have been about two dozen incidents since August, leading to flight diversions, emergency landings, escorting of civil aircraft by air force fighters and arrests of some people.

Thanks for the posts about Monterey brand sliced mushrooms carrying listeria. I've purchased that brand in the past. Wondering if the whole mushrooms they sell in the same kind of package carry listeria as well. After all, the affected mushrooms had to be "whole" before they were cut.
OPINION: It's a good feeling to catch burglars in the act and to watch them get carted off to jail.

Police: Man ambushed burglars, shot one (SC)
Myrtle Beach Online ^ | Saturday, September 16, 2006 | Staff
Posted on 09/17/2006 9:35:08 PM PDT by DaveLoneRanger
A Georgetown County man interrupted two burglars at his daughter's Andrews home, shot one of the men inside the home and held the other at gunpoint until police arrived, the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office said.
The men, Ronald Chandler, 34, and Mark Kelvin Jayroe, 45, both of Andrews, are being held at the Georgetown County Detention Center on charges of first-degree burglary, according to a news release. Chandler was shot in the chest and was treated and released from Georgetown Memorial Hospital.
The charges against the men stem from an incident just before 8 p.m. Thursday in the 500 block of Persimmon Avenue in Andrews, the release said. When deputies arrived they found Donald Stewart holding Jayroe at gunpoint in the front yard.
After they took Jayroe into custody, Stewart said he shot another suspect, who ran away.
The incident began when Stewart's daughter left him at her home at 3:30 p.m. because someone had burglarized it twice before during the week, the release said. Stewart told police he felt the burglars would be back so he hid under a blanket in the home and waited.
Stewart said two men came to the house and began taking a dresser from the home when he surprised them inside the house, the release said.
The men dropped the dresser and Stewart shot one in the chest before they ran from the home, the release said.
One of the men came back to the house to get the truck the men had left parked there and Stewart confronted him and held him on the ground until deputies arrived, the release said.

Home invasion leads to one death - Armed citizen captures, holds invaders (TX)
The Examiner ^ | September 16, 2006 | Jennifer Steeley
Posted on 09/17/2006 9:26:52 PM PDT by DaveLoneRanger
BEAUMONT, TEXAS Beaumont Police officers responded to the 6000 block of Major Dr. Sept. 15 at approximately 8:37 p.m. on reports of a home invasion. Once officers arrived at the scene, the alleged perpetrators had already been apprehended
by the victim.
According to the victim, he was in his residence when he heard a knock at the door. When the door was opened, two Hispanic men allegedly forced their way into the home, brandishing knives.
The victim stated that, at that time, the two suspects demanded money. The victim went to the bedroom, followed by one of the suspects, and retrieved some money from the bedside table. The suspect did not notice the handgun belonging to the victim that was also in the bedside table, but the victim did. The suspect then, according to the victim, turned to rummage through the closet, presumably searching for more money.
The victim stated that he ordered the suspect to drop his knife. The second suspect entered the bedroom but would not drop his weapon. The victim fired three shots at the second suspect, wounding him in the left arm, the left leg and the left side. During the commotion, the first suspect retrieved his knife. The victim fired one round at the first suspect, wounding him in the left side of his chest.
Responding officers called EMS to transport the suspects to Christus St. Elizabeth Hospital. The suspect who received injuries to the chest received emergency treatment for his injuries but died a short time after arriving at the hospital. The status of the second suspect is unverified.
Yep, I too have bought the whole mushrrooms and the sliced mushrooms in the plastic wrapped pack.
I would say absolutely not. Cause a panic? Stop people from flying....don't think so. Hopefully they would beef up security.
Don't be sorry for the rant. Your concerns are the concerns of many other citizens of this nation. It appears sometimes that the majority of politicians want to appease the will of the minority of citizens....something grossly wrong with that!
OPINION: Security is always being ramped up somewhere in the USA and yes -- outside of the USA.
Most people don't see it as they don't know what to look for.
A number of the TMers do know what to look for and report it here ever so often.
Now, Michelle Malkin did see security being increased recently as noted in this recent entry in her blog:

"US outraged as Pakistan frees Taliban fighters"
By Isambard Wilkinson in Peshawar
(Filed: 15/09/2006)
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "On the question of whether released militants would return to jihad, Hazrat Aman, a field officer of the al-Khidmat Foundation, said: "If they react like that it is a natural phenomenon. Some of these people spent two to three years in jail. Some of them will live peacefully and others will join jihad again."

Clerics teaching "secret jihad" in Australia
Snip: ISLAMIC clerics in Sydney and Melbourne are using covert tactics to preach martyrdom and jihad to young followers, recruiting them under the guise of classes teaching the Koran.
Snip: In 2005, more people from Muslim countries became legal permanent United States residents -- nearly 96,000 -- than in any year in the previous two decades.
More than 40,000 of them were admitted last year, the highest annual number since the terrorist attacks, according to data on 22 countries provided by the Department of Homeland Security.

"U.S. Blasts China Arms Sales to Iran, North Korea"
NewsMax.com Wires
Friday, Sept. 15, 2006
WASHINGTON -- Top U.S. officials are criticizing what they call China's indiscriminate sale of weapons to rogue countries, suggesting that Beijing's shortsighted policies has made the world more dangerous.
Peter Rodman, assistant secretary of defense for international security, urged China to re-evaluate its relationship with Iran and North Korea, two countries with which the United States is locked in tense nuclear standoffs.
"China's actions seem to us dangerously shortsighted," Rodman told the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, an advisory panel created by Congress."

Orthodox Church Archbishop attacks 'Islamic fanaticism'
Expect more threats and murder until he apologizes also. "Orthodox Church Archbishop attacks 'Islamic fanatism,'" from AND, with thanks to Tommy:
Johannesburg (AND) In yet another furore to grip the Christian community, the head of the Orthodox Church of Greece has joined the Pope controversy by attacking what he calls Islamic fanaticism in Africa. In a scathing attack, barely 48 hours after a Somali Islamic cleric called for Muslims to kill the Pope for his Tuesday utterances, Archbishop Christodoulos told a sermon in Athens that Christians in Africa were suffering at the hands of fanatic Islamists'.
"Many Christians on the Black Continent (Africa) suffer from fanatic Islamists. The example of Roman Catholic monks who were slaughtered last year... because they wore the cross and believed in our crucified Lord is still recent, said Christodoulos.
The Archbishops remarks come as the Muslim world is seething with anger over Pope Benedict XVIs quoting of a 14th-century Byzantine emperor who said innovations introduced by the Prophet Mohammed (the Islamic supreme leader) were "evil and inhuman".
The Pope has already been forced in submitting that he was "deeply sorry" after hisremarks sparked outrage in the Muslim world, with Morocco calling back its envoy and Turkey casting doubts of Benedicts scheduled visit in November the first to a Muslim country.
