A senior U.S. official told NBC's Robert Windrem that the >>United States had uncovered "plausible" intelligence that several flights originating in Paris would be the targets of terrorists, including the three Air France flights that were canceled. The official described the intelligence as "fairly specific. ... We do not take it for lock-solid, no-doubt intelligence, but instead I would call it plausible. It's the sort of intelligence that matches up with other stuff we received."<<

Isn't it also plausible that if Al Quida was mentioning specific flights that it was just a red herring, and that the attack will be coming from somewhere else?

That thought occurred to me.

Seems plausible to me.

I wonder if there has been unusual trading in put options for Air France.

Definitely possible and since it has been mentioned on FR 100 times already as a possibility, no doubt the govt. it considering that as well.
