Just breaking...no further news, no url yet
It'll be interesting to see what the Feds and/or the local LEOs are willing to reveal at the presser.
But I'd like to know why trying to lie your way into a major US port isn't a federal offense. It must be a jurisdictional thing? City port?
Would be my guess...
Interesting. Proximity of date and location to the Super Bowl is making my spidey sense tingle, too.
Jack Bauer isn't supposed to be back for another week. Maybe he's getting an early start.
Welcome to Free Republic. Please give us a source for your information please.
google says 61,529 lbs...
I heard that segment. Was that freaky or what?
It's like they think because they believe that, we have to live with it.
To me, they either pick everybody up or they pick nobody up.
But we both know the airport will give in to them; and their demands will just get more and more absurd.
You will probably need "papers" attesting to the contents, the vehicle type, and the persons involved.
Should you lie you will turn into one of those pukes who teaches people how to assume a non-pilates prone position with your hands over your head.
I ditto your suspicions.
I hate it when new people don't follow the rules.....
You are correct. My place of employment (pharma manufacturing) is a Customs Zone. They can search anyone and anything that enters the property.
I do not like this busness of any of these groups thinking we have to change to appease their ways, Australia has it exactly right (IMO) you get with the program and do things the Australian way or you leave...
Holy smoke....where in Lantana? I'm not far from there.
Fox is reporting that the 3 men have been arrested now. Officials are looking into the truck with x ray equipment. Guess they don't want to open the thing just yet.
I believe the new Freeper has disappeared, so I'd take the info with a large grain of salt, as he or she wouldn't give a source.
I don't remember the guy's name.
He was a taxi driver in Minneapolis...and he works out of the airport.
He, and other Muslims taxi drivers have refused to let passengers who have liquor even in their suitcases or as gifts, they won't allow any dogs, even seeing eye dogs for the blind...or anything else that upsets their Muslim sensibilities.
The driver was saying that in America there is a freedom of religion, so they are free to practice their religion, which gives them the RIGHT to refuse service to anyone that doesn't respect their RULES!!
It was a pitiful segment...the man has been listening to too many liberals...and doesn't have his facts right.
Douglas Kennedy is often wrong, and misinformed, I have found.
I never listen to his reports.
The Port of Miami was not for sale, nor would it ever be for sale (for example).
Many of us who know what the words meant and what the value of the deal really was have begun thinking of the opponents as spokesmen for the International Longshoreman's Union and the Mafia who want to keep total control over every single item in every port in the country.
This would have been a good way to begin breaking the Mafia's back.
We prefer a link to a published story, but would be quite happy to know if it's not published whether it's a personal observation, or if a friend or relative called you.
I worry about the folks whose red flags don't go off in these situations....LOL
