Lipstick on a pig.
However, I am really curious to what they were after. It seemed like a curious caper with high degree of "daytime" failure. So would need a back up plan, if caught. Testing security within a federal building?[excuse]
There were witnesses as seen in the affidavit [I supplied link above], guess it will be up to the feds, as it is a FEDERAL OFFICE.
Male(s) enters federal building with hard hat; alleges telephone repairman; Arab clean shaven, but can see where once was beard (sun); the other male blond wth blue eyes; carrying telecom equipment of some kind. No credentials "left in truck", no appointment--what would you do if your Federal office?
"caught before they could actually accomplish what they were up to"
I think that means GOOD security, not like the "crotch bomber" with lapsed security at the highest levels.
