Liz, I just went to a dozen popular news sites and nothing! On cable news it is scanty and brief. The news has to be being blacked-out and that is scarey! I cannot get a line on the Continental flight whats so ever!

It's odd that nothing can be found on it. Newark and Houston are the main hubs for Continental. I thought the New Jersey Star Ledger would at least have something about it.

U.S. officials fear 'dirty bombs' on airliners
Intelligence indicates terrorists want to smuggle device in cargo, use bio-chem weapons

Posted: February 1, 2004

Al-Qaida terrorists want to release a chemical or biological weapon aboard an airliner, or transport a radiological device inside a piece of luggage, according to intelligence cited by senior Bush administration officials.

The threat information doesn't indicate a specific method to bring down a plane or spread an illness but U.S. intelligence officials have been concerned for some time that al-Qaida is trying to bring unconventional weapons aboard an airliner, a U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told CNN.

JP I've been searching Continental 17 as well, nothing...mums the word. A lot of stuff is NOT being reported in the last few days.

JP, here's the only article that's coming up on the Continental flight, and it doesn't give any information about why. Just a brief mention of the cancellation.
