Yep those are good reasons for concern.
The G-8 is the one that worries me the most.
Didn't mean to imply that those other dates were "safe" by any means, just was pointing out the way they move on the calendar.
Oh not at all. I never understand :lunar calendar: dates, so I appreciated the explanation!! G-8 and the Nato summit scare me the most.
Remember when we heard Turkey uncovered a plot to attack the summit, and captured the perps along with weapons? What a relief, right? "Turkey's on top of things," we thought! Turns out the CIA, our incompetent, ineffective CIA gave them (Turkey) the head's up! They either had no idea, or didn't care to look.
Bomb squad kept busy
Eric Williamson
Savannah Morning News
....
It was the second suspicious package to attract bomb squad attention in two days.
....
After the robot scrutinized that package, police opened the box and found a new pair of women's shoes.
Pierce said he doesn't think the calls are the result of any G-8 hysteria, but rather astute observations by residents noticing something out of place who would rather err on the side of caution.
