SNIP

Both Lifrieri and Picarillo said business leaders should mirror government agencies and develop their own disaster preparedness plans and procedures. Without such proactive measures, business leaders are inviting disaster, they said.

...including further training hotel-casino employees skills such as recognizing guests carrying weapons under their clothing or spotting someone who may be surveilling a property.

University of Nevada, Las Vegas professor and casino industry expert Bill Thompson said local security officials should game play and brainstorm every possible terrorist attack scenario, even if they aren't willing to discuss those efforts publicly.

But with that in mind, officials said they have ramped up security citywide, giving special attention to O'Hare and Midway airports and downtown Chicago.

All departments -- especially the fire department -- were asked to watch for the theft of uniforms or pieces of equipment. Merchants were asked to report the theft of any cameras, surveillance equipment, radios or uniforms.

Thank you.

did you notice that the bases for training on the maps are not in the same as areas as the blasts.

Lends substance to the often repeated story that Saudi, allows alQ in, to keep down the explosions.

[Quix]

i don't see it as picking the fight.

I just responded to their obnoxious title!

tee hee.

The Pakistani woman from the terror threat seven is an interesting case. From what I understand, she's not AQ, rather, she is in charge of procuring body armor. Why would people intent on martyrdom need body armor?
With sources of funding from AQ HDQRTRS running low, is it possible this cell needs to commit some armed robberies to make ends meet?
That bank robbery in LA some years back was a real nutcruncher. 2 guys with body armor kept dozens of law enforcement at bay for hours.
Opinions?

SNIP

Fundamentalist Islamic terror represents one of the most lethal threats to the stability of the civilized world. The existence of Islamic terrorists is the existence of threats to democracy. There is no room for terrorism in the modern world and the United States should take a no-tolerance stance on terrorism in order to avoid another tragedy, along the lines of 9-11. With the added threat of biochemical weapons, the call to defeat terrorism has never been so urgent.

Use a center fire rifle load.

And aim for a head shot.

GROOOOOOAN!

Snip:

Adam Gadahn was home-schooled at the family farm in Riverside County. He did not attend college. Omar said the family was a "more or less Christian household, but no one was particularly religious."

Omar said he doesn't know why his brother converted to Islam. But a statement attributed to Adam Gadahn on several Muslim-related Web sites said he "gradually realized I could not be a Christian." He went through an obsessive phase with heavy metal music and eventually turned to Islam.

>> business leaders should mirror government agencies and develop their own disaster preparedness plans and procedures <<

Maybe I should start consulting. I've developed the IT disaster recovery plans for my company (only for my specific site though). Was in a 2 hour meeting about that very subject today. Kinda morbid, meeting starts with...Okay, we're all dead...

[Letitring]

That Nully! :)

Nully is a MENSA member. Super smart guy and when he first started using that term, I looked at it and blinked and then just roared. Sooooooo funny! Glad you enjoyed. :)

[Letitring]

KEWL.

I'm glad you picked up on that. I found it interesting and felt maybe 'we the people' should be mimicking the government.

'course we'd all be building bunkers if we did...

[TBall]

Almost ready. No doubt they will want to start off with a message to a big audience. A broadcast hijack would be quite scary.

" training hotel-casino employees skills such as recognizing guests carrying weapons under their clothing or spotting someone who may be surveilling a property"

Cameras will be all over the place. Robotics will be expanded beyond technology and manufacturing into even the hospitality industry.

[Quix]

No sweat. Take your time.

They are pulling away because I won't comply with their script.
