Tobin Bridge, Ted Williams Tunnel, Sumner Tunnel, The Mass Turnpike runs under a few buildings...

Duct Tape seems to fit well with Box Cutters

Hell, you can build a civilization with duct tape and vise grip pliers!

[Azzurri]

My guess is even if they find this van that the 55 gallon tanks were ditched along the way and they'll find it empty.

[JustPiper]

Why was Ariz on the 'target' list today? Not London bridge right?

[hd5574]

LOL

[Fred25]

"Mall"? What's a "mall".

I'm in NM.

If this really is the preliminary to an attack (and goodness knows there have been many false alarms) I'll bet Harvard or MIT is or will eventually be a planned primary target. These guys are not as interested in causing fear (as many assume) as they are in practical military objectives. Imagine wiping out thousands of the best scientists and future scientists at once at MIT.

The problem is that universities are *extremely* spread out. They really sprawl, with personell scattered among many buildings, over many square miles.

You could set off the biggest truck bomb possible, and even at the optimum location, you might not take out more than a few dozen "best scientists" at a university like MIT.

The extensive reliance upon duct tape indicates a domestic origin for the suspects. If the latch was secured with a screwdriver that would nail it.

Protecting us from the fringe ya know.... *smile*

Cousin was a genius, I guess. This MIT idiot wouldn't have gotten on another sub.

"The Mass Turnpike runs under a few buildings."

The Mass Pike runs right underneath The Prudential Center building (second tallest in town after the John Hancock building) but you'd need a hell of a lot more than a truck filled with 6 barrels of ANFO to bring it down.

I think it was the dams. Lots of them damming up the Colorado River. But they have been watched very closely since 9-11. No commercial vehicles, no trailers, and no RVs allowed to cross Hoover since 9-11. No one is allowed to even stop on the dam from what I've read.

[upchuck]

You got that right, Pal. Send them ALL home, TODAY!!

What a wonderful idea. I agree completely. Now, if the INS just knew where they are...

For the 79th time:
If you are not a US citizen and you are from one of the countries we've identified as harboring/promoting terrorists, out you go, NOW!! No exceptions!

[SubSailor]

That was a pretty famous incident, and a harrowing one at that from what I know about it. Sorry to hear about losing him later. He will be remembered as a hero by his shipmates.

Tried , thanx Missy but the streamer is overloaded, please keep us updated?

Ah ha...you're making the same point I was making to my co-workers today. They think I'm nuts, but one was saying something about the FBI security warnings and that the terrorists were just trying to scare peopel because that's their goal..to terrify us. I said nonsense, that's the old PLO model used in Western Europe. This is entirely different...these guys are at war. They're interested in killing Americans, wrecking our economy and defeating us. They flew planes into the WTC and caused them to collapse...they didn't threaten to do it, they just did it.

I really don't think they're interested in ruining our Halloween...they're more interested in killing our kids on Halloween. They way be getting a kick out of watching us scramble about because of the latest Anthrax scare, but that's not their primary goal.. Their goal is to kill people. This is really very serious.
