Authorities are investigating a series of suspicious UPS packages across the East Coast - including one inside a delivery truck in Brooklyn, law enforcement sources said.
Cargo planes have been grounded at airports in Newark and Philadelphia and the NYPD bomb squad surrounded a UPS truck in at MetroTech in downtown Brooklyn, officials said.
"We're investigating what we believe is a possible explosive device on board that truck," said top NYPD spokesman Paul Browne.
Investigators believe an explosive device was on the truck, which was initially believed to be in Long Island City, law enforcement sources said.
However, detectives learned the truck left Queens and is now in Brooklyn. Authorities have surrounded a loading dock at 4 Metrotech, police said. The Manhattan Bridge was also shut down as a precaution.

If we have several planes blow up over this country, or have som other large-scale or multiple-city attack occur, I would not rule it out at all that Obama would not let such a good crisis ‘go to waste’.
Even the suggestion of postponing the elections (would have to be announced and voted on by the Dems) would guarantee both chambers to us.
Never going to happen.

What is goofy imho is that anyone on this forum would automatically rule out such a scenario given all we know about our anti-american potentate and his democrat/leftist puppetmasters.
Just how would one “call off elections” from D.C., when they are the sole territory of the 50 individual states? Sheesh, some folks need to dial back the caffeine.
Now they are saying it’s a dry run by Yemenis.

I was concerned about World Series in Arlington. President Bush is normally at the games and that would give the left all the amo they needed to blame Bush again. God forbid these idiots attempt anything... anywhere but they want to destroy our lifestyle and want us all dead.
I wonder if these packages being found, planes grounded, etc. are related to that episode in Garden Grove the other night. Sure looks like the cops are escorting something “hot.”

Planted by the Dems, Obama springs into action to save the country from terror attack ... just before elections.
I have become so cynical ...
Not gonna happen.
Something’s afoot.
Dry run, diversionary tactics, disruption just before elections.
We need more facts.
