Wonder why these things happen in clusters like this.
Do you remember how Schwartzkopf used the Marines just offshore from Iraq as a feint to get Saddam to turn on all of his radar, which promptly disappeared from the map......BEFORE the actual ground war was started?
My theory is that the muzzies are probing and watching the response, and that the govt knows this well, and is probably getting jitterey over it......airliners, cruise ships and downtown areas with false alarms now for many months.
Yeah, good analogy!
