"If ALL of you would pay attention to what people say, you would KNOW that the first car ONLY had part of the toll money and paid that...(50 cents I believe)..the second car paid the balance...The 3 suspects were NOT telling a lie..!!!"

I believe that's what I heard them say during their first interview on Larry King Live.

The second car, according to the video, took longer to get through the toll booth, and something was mentioned on the video that alluded to the second car being involved in paying for the toll of the first car, or at least part of the toll. That could account for the short delay.

At any rate, what a heck of a co-incidence these guys fell into. Toll booth fiasco because of the toll amount due; getting stopped because of a license plate deal; the dogs sniffing remnants of explosives in the car. All at the same time and place.

It's still not clear to me if the car was on the hot sheet and was targeted to be stopped because of an all points, regardless of the toll booth problem. If so, the toll booth story is immaterial and just adds noise and detracts from the real issue.

I don't remember hearing, but are these folks all born in the U.S.A.-Citizens, naturalized, or here on visas?

One of the men was born here, the other 2 immigrated (at last report, I believe that their lawyer asserts that they are all citizen but it was had been previously reported that one of the men was on a visa).
