thank you! People are really funny about this kind of threat. They would rather make fun of or joke about it but on the other hand they support our "war on terror" and the Prez keeping us safe and fighting the bad guys. Well what is it? Is Al-Qeada a threat, hell, because everytime a threat is posted most people downplay the heck out of it. Perhaps there is nothing to talk about and be concerned about-it's just a neat Rovian plot to help Bush!!!!!Sarcasm inserted here!!

Don't be chicken Little's BUT the threat is out there and we must be vigilant-not wacky just alert.

By the way-what concerns me about this is that the government must get a bezillion threats a day like this. Why is this one being reported and the NFL and local security being consulted? I know we have to be proactive-Something is a tad bit concerning about this one.

Ya know-I put NO STOCK in the gov't saying this threat is not credible..."nothing to see here move on" If they did become alarmist the sheeple would panic. It's a fine line between responsible warnings and hype. Say the gov't does warn people and nothing happens...There goes those repubs again, hyping the threat...hmm rock and a hard place comes to mind!!!

no, thank you! :-) It sounds like we are approaching this from the same point of view. I hesitated to voice the same question you did...why is such a big deal being made of this one?

Could be several things I suppose: Could have simply been leaked and then spiraled out of control. Or could be an FBI tactic to dissuade someone from really trying something (if they know we're onto them). Could be something politically motivated (one side or the other). Or something else???

One possible really bad scenario could be this: This supposed "bogus threat" could have been intentionally made to get everyone thinking "dirty bomb". Then AQ could simply detonate conventional explosives outside the stadiums and create sheer panic. That is something that I hope stadium security is prepared to deal with....but could they really do anything??? BTW that goes for any weekend, not just this one.
