Federal authorities are urging law enforcement agencies across the country to watch out for signs that extremists might be planning to wreak havoc at the upcoming political conventions -- by blocking roads, shutting down transit systems and even employing what were described as acid-filled eggs.
The warning came in a joint FBI-Department of Homeland Security bulletin issued Wednesday.
The bulletin specifically warned about a group of anarchists from New York City who could be planning to travel to the convention sites to disrupt the events by blockading bridges.
Anarchists "see both parties as the problem," so both conventions are prime targets for them, a federal law enforcement official told Fox News.
The Republican National Convention is set to open Monday in Tampa, Fla., and the Democratic National Convention gets underway a week later in Charlotte, N.C.
The joint bulletin, titled "Potential For Violent or Criminal Action By Anarchist Extremists During The 2012 National Political Conventions," says anarchist extremists likely don't have the capability to overcome heightened security measures set up by the conventions themselves. In addition, Tampa Police Chief Jane Castor said Tuesday that fences have been established around "some of the more attractive government targets."
Instead, extremists could target nearby infrastructure, including businesses and transit systems, according to Wednesday's bulletin.
The bulletin mentions possible violent tactics anarchist extremists could employ, including the use of molotov cocktails or acid-filled eggs.

You don’t think Joe is already on an acid trip or, at the least, experiencing those dire flashbacks?
If the Feds would just burn a few bales of confiscated weed
during the convention they wouldn’t have anything to worry about. ;-)
The rain wouldnt stop anything, we’re fairly accustomed to it.
A hurricane would make travel in and out a tad difficult. Not to mention the possibility of a storm surge which could flood the convention area.
A cat 1 storm really isn’t something we worry about too much.
Right! And if they wait too long to throw the eggs, they will have cartons of steaming, bubbling, HOT, fuming acid in their vehicles or backpacks or whatever.
That would be nice in a “what goes around comes around” sort of way.
It will also be ‘way too late for them to regret having slept through chemistry class or attending a school that only taught homosexuality, installing condoms on cucumbers, feminism, and diversity.
Normally this would be cause for concern.
obama’s people could cause some big problems.
No worries though. baraq has sent biden to lead them.
You natives may be used to it, but these aren't! I want schadenfreude for drowned Rats, or as Aesop would have called them, grasshoppers! Opposing hard work and capital investments in things like roofs and walls. Meanwhile the hard working GOP ants are snug as a bug inside the shelter their efforts built and financed.
Doubt it will be acid filled eggs but acid/Caustic lye filled beer bottles with paraffin wax coated corks are something that I expect to see.

TAMPA (FOX 13) -
SNIPPET: “Tampa police say they’ve confiscated bricks and pipes from a rooftop in Tampa, and discovered what they say is “anarchist” graffiti.
The anonymous symbol was spray painted, along with the number “99” in red paint.”
SNIPPET: “For months, FOX 13 has been reporting about the Black Bloc, an anarchist group that causes chaos and havoc around the world. The FBI has labeled them domestic terrorists who are against government, corporate America, and law enforcement.
Recently cyber hackers known as Anonymous sent out a call to action for Black Blockers to unite at the RNC. Their message to Chief Castor and the media was simple: they’re coming to Tampa to fight for what they say are their rights.”
Snipers as in SWAP snipers to uh... hmm... nevermind...
I retract that Law Enforcement recommendation for the time being.
err... SWAP -> SWAT.
