Relist of things to be watching for....

obvious signs of trouble:
- people wearing heavy, bulky jackets on warm days
- smelling of chemicals
- trailing wires from their jackets
- tightly clenched fists. Someone who never shows his palms could be gripping a detonator rigged to go off when a button is released. "If you shoot him, you ' re still not safe because his hands relax and the bomb explodes," says a counter-terrorism official.

The FBI bulletin also notes that suicide bombers may disguise themselves in stolen military, police or firefighter's garb, or even as pregnant women.

maybe it would help at such times to refer to specific observables . . .

The way their eyes were scanning the situation;

their body language;

the look in their eyes, their bulging dress etc.

Not a very sure thing but better than

"I just felt it."

Someone lit up a cigar?

Are we supposed to laugh? Keep your day job.

Getting step-dad to even allow, much more agree to stocking up is proving to be a problem! Sigh. We do have our own water well and free gas from a well on the place.

Certainly true about never forsaking The True God.

Am determined as much as lies within me, with His help, to cry out JESUS I LOVE YOU and some such whenever there's any need to CRY OUT.

[JustPiper]

Oh, I know that for sure, what I meant was why not 'other' targets with bigger casualities?

[nw_arizona_granny]

Is this the same one that was stolen about 2 months ago?

My memory thinks that the Poynar is the same town, but I recall Arkansas or Oklahoma as the state.

Cindy will know she had it on her list too.

[texasbluebell]

With all this going on I'm not sure why the threat level hasn't been raised. Guess they don't want to panic the sheeple.

This is always going to be the case, and I think it has always been.

They (the govt) won't tell us enough to panic the general population. It's just never going to be any different.

If we want to take more precautions, and we here do, then it's up to us. No one is going to protect us, or look out for us. Except ourselves.

Someone mentioned a while back that every single leading figure in Washington has in the past couple of months or so warned us that a major attack is coming.

There's really nothing else that anyone can do for us. Warn us enough that some of us will listen, the rest of the people won't wake up till the next attack comes.

At least this time the warnings are out there -- but there's just no way to be more specific, or to stop any of it, of course.

(Except for things that I'd like to see done, but are never going to happen, it seems, until it's too late...)

[swarthyguy]

Shhesh, who peed in your cornflakes this morning.

Gotta laugh at stuff, dude. Can't start taking things too seriously. You'll go nuts.

[Quix]

My concern is that by the time there's enough glaring evidence for people to wake up, it will be 99.9999% too late to do much about it.
