NYC ON THANKSGIVING TERROR ALERT

NYC - Thanksgiving Terror Threat
For those who may have forgotten we are in the midst of a war and that New York has sustained the single largest number of casualties in that war so far…
Federal authorities are warning law enforcement personnel of a possible terror plot against the New York City subway and train systems during the holiday season, and police are beefing up security in preparation.
An internal memo obtained by The Associated Press says the FBI has received a “plausible but unsubstantiated” report that al-Qaida terrorists in late September may have discussed attacking the subway system.
A person briefed on the matter, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the intelligence-gathering work, said the threat may also be directed at the passenger rail lines running through New York, such as Amtrak and the Long Island Railroad, which are particularly busy with Thanksgiving holiday travelers.
A U.S. counterterror official, also speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to do so publicly, said senior government officials have been briefed because the FBI very recently received credible information about possible attacks over the holiday season, and authorities are particularly concerned about this long holiday weekend.

Oh holy crap, that would be me.
I’ll need to watch the tracks. Is it a federal crime for me to do so?
Yawn. This is just the media hunting for revenue. If and when there is another attack on the US mainland there will not be a front page story to precede it on CBS or Drudge.
The freedoms of North Eastern city dwellers has been usurped by the police state!
Pull all security from blue cities and freedom ring!
This will be done by muslims on British passports flown in for the bombings. Realistically train bombings are the only mass murder option terrorists currently have the ability to pull off. Something like this will happen in the U.S. It’s just a matter of time. And they will blame Bush when it happens!
The easiest way to do this other than parking a large vehicle at a crossing would be to sabotage a freight train loaded with railcars of toxic or flammable chemicals, a torch to cut out a small section of track but leave an electrical jumper hooked up, or destoy a key bridge or tunnel.
Its also possible to hijack a locomotive.
For a widespread effect a truck bomb at the operations nexus would most likely disrupt all traffic for several states.
Here in Alaska immediately after 9/11 we had armed railcars with National Guard patrolling the tracks.
I’m not from a city that depends on mass transit (wish we had it, but our bus service isn’t even reliable.) Anyhoo, I understand the consequences of a subway attack, but what about the Amtrak attack (aside from the deaths it would cause)...a mass transit attack that would affect all train travel...how could that be? How would it disrupt things for any longer than it takes to repair/or lay more tracks, etc. (unless, I guess it was in the station itself?) I know I’m being naive, I just don’t understand the implications...could someone explain them to me.
Wait a tick, maybe Amtrack’s management is Al-Queda.....
OMG, We've already been infiltrated......
I propose a bailout.
“Al Qaeda may be targeting New York’s subways and railroads.””
This would seriously affect the free houses, cars, gas, drugs, lottery tickets, MD 20-20, beer, turkeys, burgers, shrimps, fried chicken, TVs, i pods, and vacation cruises all the obama voters are expecting.
If Al Qaeda terrorists have their way there will be chaos and mayhem here this holiday season, a mass transit bomb plotIf AQ wants to do this, bring chaos and mayhem, to the NYC transit system, all they have to do is place an operative on every third platform and ... LIGHT UP A CIGARETTE.
The NYC cops will be running around like a Chinese fire drill stamping out these DANGEROUS Cigarettes and writing tickets. And Blommie will demand the 82nd Airborne be brought in to round up the 'evil doers'.
Notice how al-queerda doesn’t want to cripple a Red State? That’s because Oklahoma, Alabama, Texas, etc. all still believe in the 2nd amendment.
