Prediction.....Set up to ‘wag the terrorists’ right before the election. The dems will hail this as a ‘major plot’ stopped by the potentate and every democrat running for re-election....(eye roll).

Is this the reason the elections will be cancelled?

Is Obama going full-tilt martial law?

FOX — SkyNews affiliate says NO suspicious package/bomb at Heathrow.

I think they said it was Birmingham, England airport.

CNN : The suspicious package, which contained a “manipulated” toner cartridge, tested negative for explosive material, the source said, but it led to heightened inspection of arriving cargo flights in at least three cities — Newark, New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennyslvania and a UPS truck in New York.

....

Tested negative for explosive material. Doesn’t sound like it was a bomb afterall. Could be all a false alarm...

Good Lord! I hope not. But, I don’t put anything past Bowrama and his administration.

I’m smelling diversion and ‘quarantine’ to stop the elections until the dems and Obama can get a boost from ‘stopping a major terrorist plot’. (eye roll).

Thanks a lot! Now that stupid song will be stuck in my head all day.

Think of it as an opportunity to write a terrorist parody.

This is sounding more and more like large scale diversion to me. Where are they not looking?
