Well then, we’ll just have to plan a party!
I’ll bring pork rinds, cheese dip and some wine.
What kind of wine goes with pork rinds?
Thank you Myrddin : )

FBI Raids Urbandale Man’s Apartment (Des Moines, IA)
The FBI is investigating an Urbandale man after witnesses reported hearing him talk about making a dirty bomb.
Two witnesses told law enforcement that Justin Sheridan has done things and said things that they consider a threat to the public. That was enough for law enforcement to open an investigation that they classify as a terrorism threat case.
Federal, state and local agents swooped in to search Sheridan’s apartment and vehicle last week.
A written statement to law enforcement from an informant states that “(Sheridan) told me he’s found out how to make...a fertilizer bomb, and that he doesn’t expect to live long...so he said he’s going to go out with a bang...he’s an anarchist.”
The statement also said, “I notified the FBI because he’s started to collect smoke detectors for material in making a bomb... using the radioactive material in the detectors.”
A second informant told law enforcement, “Justin Sheridan wanted (me) to provide smoke detectors from the job sites...so that he could remove the ‘Alpha emitter to make a bomb.’”
A task force of agents searched Sheridan’s apartment and found “a cardboard box with smoke detector parts wrapped in tin foil. The parts are Americium - 241 Alpha Emitters.”

Small Boat Threat (SC)
New Security Risk
Cruise ships and container ships capture Charleston City Police Officer Dustin Thompson’s attention. He said, “There’s no telling what they have on them.” But now, the marine patroller is downsizing. The Department of Homeland Security fears a small boat may lead to a big disaster. Thompson said, “It’s very easy for a terrorist to load up a John boat with explosives, get close to a ship and blow it up.”

“NASA To Release Scrubbed Pilot Survey Data”
Nov 1, 2007
By John M. Doyle/Aviation Daily
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “NASA will release aviation incident data gleaned from a controversial pilot survey that the agency originally decided not to provide, the agency’s top official told Congress yesterday. But the scrubbing process required by law could take up to two months, NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said.
“The survey results that we can legally release will be released. Period,” Griffin told the House Science and Technology Committee during a hearing into the two-year delay in making the $11 million survey’s results public.”

FBI trains Mexican state police
Dozens of Mexican state police and federal agents training on U.S. grounds, this in an effort to combat organized crime across the border.
For many years, the FBI has provided tactical training to U.S. international law enforcement allies.
The Mexican American Law Enforcement Training Program is an initiative for local, state and federal police working in the vicinity of the U.S.-Mexican border.
FBI Supervisor Jorge Cisneros says training Mexican officers is a way to establish good relationships. “To be able to build relationships and be able to call them when we need them to help us out with kidnappings, extortions, fugitives.”

Detroit’s FBI chief: Violence extremism cuts across religions
Speaking inside a Warren mosque, the head of the FBI Detroit office said that violent extremism is not only a problem among some Muslims.
“There are plenty of people out there in my faith, the Christian faith, who use these extremist views to support their thoughts on racial superiority, be it the Ku Klux Klan, the Nazis, Aryan Nation, all these people, these groups...they’re all based on a religious view,” Special Agent in Charge Andrew Arena said Tuesday night to an audience of Muslims.

Welcome back, Cindy!
Authorities take explosive crash course
Bomb technicians from across the state took a crash course in disabling vehicle bombs Thursday, less than three miles from University of Phoenix Stadium, the site of the annual Fiesta Bowl and this season’s Super Bowl.
Bomb squad members from 10 federal, state and local law-enforcement agencies practiced their own explosive techniques for disabling the car bombs. They tested their methods on five junked cars and a delivery truck that had been loaded with simulated bombs at Glendale Landfill, just west of the stadium.
Most of the simulated bombs were about the size of a lunchbox, which would be capable of killing or injuring dozens of people. The biggest simulated bomb was larger than the one detonated by Timothy McVeigh at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people in 1995.
The FBI agents who led the course brought experience gained in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Israel, North Ireland and other places around the world where bombs are preferred tool of terrorists.
The FBI conducts about five anti-bomb seminars for state and local authorities around the country each year. The Super Bowl put greater emphasis on Arizona this year.
