the gubemint will say (and rightfully so)
that the system worked

I’m glad security was “not comfortable with” a man crashing through a security gate ^-^

Wonder what our Gov is gonna say about it?

See post #17:

"Officials say there is not a threat to the plant or to the public. They also say it is not terrorism related."

[Rick.Donaldson]

Lock downs in those facilities are a way of life, they happen all the time. They just simply don’t make it to the news usually. I’ve been in three THIS week. LOL

Test RUN?

hahahahahahaha

[ArrogantBustard]

Just how bright does one need to be to become a suicide bomber?

Not very.

OTOH, being a Kamikaze or suicide bomber shouldn't be taken as presumptive evidence of stupidity. Evil fanaticism, but not stupidity.

This one, though, doesn't impress me.

eeeeewwwwwww!

[advertising guy]

crashing the gate ain’t a fact yet according to the radio

This is finally correctly in the Breaking News section...

[muawiyah]

No, not a test run. What we have is a plant manager doing a CYA by declaring "no threat, we stopped it, the public is safe" when he doesn't know anything.

We need to know much more about the guy with the bomb, what the nature of the bomb was, etc. before stating such a thing.

The plant manager should be ignored.

They should close this thread...there is already on over in Breaking News.

My mother-in-law works out there. I am wondering if I should call my husband to mention the situation, so he is aware. I also know a Freeper I have spoken to works out there. Perhaps he can let us know more when everything is over.

This IS the thread in breaking news.

Missed some of you on the ping. This was a pipe bomb according to reuters.

It didn’t used to be until about 4 seconds ago!

Kamikaze are in a different league. They were uniformed military going force-on-force against an armed, defended and alert military target, with more certainty of dying to protect their homeland from devastation than the average soldier. They have my respect, even though the one that hit the top of the #3 turret on the Maryland very nearly killed my Dad.

Islamokazes skulk around in mufti, and target unarmed and unsuspecting women and children, in the hopes of getting an admission ticket to their pig-dog-god’s whorehouse in the sky. They are lower that the meanest cockroach.

Myway.com (link from Drudge) reported: Security officials at the nation's largest nuclear power plant detained a contract worker with a small explosive device in the back of his pickup truck Friday, authorities said.

Let me ask a question here...and I don't want to seem racist: What nationality was the man???

An “Asian” as they would say in England.
