Makes you wonder if the Sept. 3 crash of a UPS plane in Dubai was an accident, or the first (successful) attempt getting through whatever UPS or cargo security layers are in place. Hmmm ...

Those planes are full of Democrat absentee ballots.Unfortunately, they might be military ballots that the dems don't want to make it to the precincts.

All-cargo carriers also have their own security plans, however, the TSA cannot control what's coming
inbound to the USA aborad those planes.
This is their worst nightmare coming true...

The deployment, or non-deployment of NEST is classified Secret. So, I guess we'll be able to read about it in the NY Times...

Let’s just pray everything is okay. But if anything this is going to hurt the libbies big time. This happened on Obama’s watch.

Rick Rescorla predicted the use of cargo planes a year before 9/11. He felt AQ would find it easier to take over a cargo jet and keep the fact hidden from authorities than taking a passenger jet.
With the security in place since 9/11 for airlines, I'd say AQ has discovered what Rescorla anticipated a decade ago.

Radio report? Source network?
WHEN did you hear this???

"Makes you wonder if the Sept. 3 crash of a UPS plane in Dubai was an accident" That crash was related to a shipment of lithium batteries that became over-heated, caught fire, and brought down the aircraft.
That's a different problem that the TSA is trying to resolve...

Ladies and gentlemen, we are under attack. Now a another bomb threat at the Federal Courthouse in Portland, Maine.
