In this same Washington State there are multiple cameras that take 16 photos of each LICENSE PLATE crossing the new bridge so they don’t get cheated out of a toll...
The Seattle Post “Intelligencer” (that will be the day) newspaper refuses to print the pictures of 2 oddly behaving men, but DID have a Haiku contest to describe the bad FBI that asked them to do such an outrageous thing...
I need an adult beverage and a break from WA! ;)

Thanks for the update!
a spokesman for US Customs and Border Protection, said the group - all American citizens - blah blah blah
American "citizen" has less meaning now than before IMHO. I think British and Netherland citizens would understand my meaning...

The terrorists wont blow up anything in Seattle or Portland - - they are allies, after all. You do have an excellent point. :-) However I argue that they will probably take easy targets and maybe integrate more difficult targets as well for impact reasons. When one is trying to kill Americans, even friends are subject to death. For heck sake, these are people that take their own lives. Why should they care about the lives of their allies? Until Seattle and Portland become completely Muslim they are at risk.

I think this is a fairly bogus story. Someone has taken a bare fabric of truth...and stretched it a long way.

Thanks for the warm fuzzies... my hubby works there.

Jeez! Talk about Keystone cops!
Why we're not photographing - up close and personal every US entrant, fingerprinting them and detailed travel plans, exit time, etc, etc. is beyond me. Arrghh! One car trunk could hold everything necessary for a real dirty bomb, bioweapon, etc.
Luckily it only takes 5 years for the CIA to look up its own skirts to discover that no one was really at fault or at least responsible for the pre-911 screwups. Now they can investigate this little breach ... maybe ICE, the TSA and the other alphabets will pull their thumbs out someday. Me, I am not holding my breath. :-(

"Thanks for the warm fuzzies... my hubby works there."
Didn't mean to alarm you, but I figured that anyone who works there probably would have already heard that story - it was on the front page of the papers a couple of years ago.
At any rate, I think the next terrorist attack will take some form other than flying airplanes into buildings.

Shortly after midnight, federal agents contacted the group, interviewed them and determined they were not a terrorist or smuggling threat, Milne said. Driver fined But the driver broke a federal law by failing to report his entrance to the United States, Milne said. The Customs agents filled out the paperwork to seize the man's car, then fined him $5,000. The agents then reduced the fine to $500. The man paid the reduced fine and the agents filled out the paperwork to return his car, Milne said. I would wager that the "federal" contact "after midnight" at the Port Angels hotel involved surveillance and armed confrontation of the "four." I would also wager that the impounding of the vehicle, involved a fairly detailed search prior to their deciding to release it.
I think that this story has a lot to be read between the lines.
