This has really got my attention. One post about shower and I think one about series in 90 posts. It must be serious.

Sorry if I'm playing catch-up, but a NEST team isn't generally sent into a situation unless they are investigating nuclear devices? I picked this up off of the previously-posted ABC News smuggles nuclear material (Not!)
: Now the Liberian ship off the coast of NJ has SEALs and the DOE's N.E.S.T. teams swarming all over it! A Neutron detector, not a standard Geiger counter was what was tripped! THAT is where we should be scared...how much material was smuggled in on Oil Tankers BEFORE we started checking?
Pucker, indeed!

Well, one shot in the head could kill a human. For the country, it'd still live if NYC got nuked, in fact *most* people would survive with no ill effects physically. (windy day today with most of the fallout going east). However, you think the recession blip after the wtc was nice...just wait till the global depression after they nuked nyc.

They won't believe anything until the big drops on their head.
Picture that Monty Python skit where the 16Ton weight drops on a guy..... That's what it'll take.

From the original Fox alert - 8 miles off shore.

If you have an extra beer, brother, would you please pass one this way? I'm at work - no beer on hand. Best I can do it Vanilla Coke...

Sorry. I meant about Ritter. The Iraquis gave him money to "make a movie"?

We have to be perfect 100% of the time stopping Terrorists....they have to get lucky just once.
Scary.

LOL! I was thinking the same thing. Also, no naysayers have popped up accusing everyone of spreading panic.

depleted uranium is not as radioactive as you might think. It's radioactivity is not much higher than background radiation which is part of the background noise created by interstellar rays bombarding our planet every day. Weapons grade enriched Uranium (or plutonium) on the other hand could be detected with the right equipment at a distance.
Having worked as a US Customs inspector however, I can attest to the fact that with such wide open and unpatroled borders igf they really wanted to they could smuggle anything into the United States.
Our onl;y safety lies in having an absolute policy of blasting any nation or group that attempted such a thing with instant destruction on a massive scale.

I don't know about you, but I think 3,000 was more than enough. I don't want 1 more American dead.

Has there been any indication when Cheney will come back out?I had heard as of last night that it would be at least Friday, but behind something like this, your guess is probably as good as mine...

MMMM, Vanilla Coke. You rule. (mix it 1/1 with cherry coke, that's good too...)
To: hchutch
We don't know what they are dealing with here.
I for one don't want to see the Atlantic Ocean a few or even a few hundred miles become radioactive for a couple of centuries. Catching a two headed Striped Bass that glows in the dark and clicks isn't a lot of fun.
It is a safe bet that our NEST teams and Spec Op teams have been practicing just for this scenario since 9/12/01.

So what......do we really need those knock off DVD's.......sink the ship!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't they take the crew off, take nd it out to sea about fifty miles, and put a few ADCAPS in the thing? Sink the darn ship and the device before it detonates?Several thoughts come to mind:
How long to tow or sail the ship that distance?
Is the bomb "salvage fused?"
Is the bomb connected to a GPS device and a computer with complicated logic? ("If the ship moves east of XXX degrees longitude, detonate."

Anybody ever see Special Bulletin?An excellent production, despite an obviously low budget. Very thrilling and chilling.
To: Dog
I don't feel so good right now....I am in South Jersey......how close is that ship Me either. I've been following this closely. The ship is off Sandy Hook - my neck of the woods.
