Something tells me this is not going to be a quiet day, or weekend. Did you see the report on the main board about the Egyptian picked up in Dallas? They called in the bomb squad to check the bus.

G-8 Security Forces Trained in Wildlife
BRUNSWICK, Ga. - Military and security forces will be bringing out their fast boats and big guns to police Sea Island and its surrounding waters during next month's G-8 summit. But they'll be careful not to trample on turtle eggs or mow over a manatee while they're doing it.(snip)
(snip)Biologists devoted to protecting sea turtles, whose nesting patterns have been disrupted by development, have circulated photographs of the unique - and potentially suspicious - equipment they use.
By next month, a dozen turtles will be outfitted with monitoring devices that include a black box with an antennae and a cylindrical tube that an overzealous officer could easily mistake for a pipe bomb.
*****(WHAT THE HECK?????)******
"The equipment, I'm sure, would look real sketchy to any Secret Service guy on the beach," said Mark Todd, coordinator of the DNR's sea turtle program.

Are all of these suitcases being found really empty? Is there nothing inside? Not even a note? Are we being told everything?
