LUCKY THREAD NUMBER:

HOMELAND INSECURITY

Backup electrical systems failed to kick in

A mysterious power failure at Logan Airport that delayed dozens of flights for more than five hours has still not been explained – six days later.

Airport officials insist airline security was not compromised during the blackout Monday at Logan International's Terminal E, but backup electrical systems failed to kick in as they are programmed under such circumstances.

We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm

Meet It!
Greet It!
Defeat It!

>>>>There are very few people who will take initiative here for "dirty work" let alone for jobs that require them to be in harms way.

That is sad that you live in an area where people are afraid to get dirty. I'm glad I don't live in an area like that.

We also lived up and down the east coast when we did our rural medicine tour. I've never seen an area where groups didn't pull together during natural disasters.

I also saw first hand how an area will pull together during an UNnatural disaster, 9/11. We all got dirty.

Thank you Texas Bluebell.

" A WOMAN suicide bomber who set off a blast that killed herself and four policemen in Colombo may have been wearing a "bra bomb"

Ummm...didn't I post something about grapefruit bombs possibly being used this way a few months back when folks were concerned about pseudo pregnancy bombs?

You see it's one thing for someone in "official capacity" to place a hand upon a pregnant belly overtly gesturing protection while covertly looking for false padding but it just couldn't happen with a bra...a "no go" unless you are ready to detain for a strip search.

Rotten SOBs in my book to do that to animals. I hope they get theirs, is all I will say.

Same garbage -- another day on the internet....

They hate Jews.
They hate Christians.
They hate the other
assorted infidels that
support Christians and Jews.

They hate Israel.
They hate America.
The hate the other

support America and Israel.

Jihad.

Yep.

Whoops - sorry - I have been skipping ahead some in a vain attempt to stay half-way current. Darn work keeps interrupting my important FReeping!

Confirmed, no storms in Tallahassee. So that was not the cause at least.

>>>>Yeah, I remember the birds wrecking havoc at LAX earlier this year. At first they reported the culprit bird took out the power and flew away, but then I think they did a follow up where the bird carcass had been found.

I know, I know. I did this yesterday....But with all the Bird talk....I can't resist!

Sorry for what? You provided validation.

(SNIP) But the Republican chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, California's Christopher Cox, told CNN Sunday the request was a prudent effort to plan for what he called "doomsday scenarios."

Are you conditioned yet?

[Donna Lee Nardo]

It appears that there was some kind of accident in Tallahassee. Don't know what kind though. Auto? Power company maintenance? Construction? Must have been a bad accident for such a large outage, or I guess it must have taken out some key power equipment.

[HipShot]

How can they be a religion of "peace" with all that hatred?

Note to Muslims...China will not tolerate extremists views....I wonder what the UN's Koffi Annan will say about this....probably nothing. The UN only tries to bully the US with regard to how we deal with terrorists.

China Executes Muslim Uighur Accused of Separatism

BEIJING (AP) - A Muslim has been executed on charges of seeking independence for China's Muslim-majority northwestern region of Xinjiang and making explosives, a court official said Tuesday.

Kuerban Tudaji, an ethnic Uighur, was sentenced to death June 30 and later executed, said Fu Rongqing, a spokesman for the Supreme People's Court in Xinjiang. Fu said he wasn't sure of the date the execution was carried out.

Death sentences in China typically are carried out shortly after the last appeal fails. Most executions are by gunshot to the head or neck, while some courts use lethal injection. Fu said Kuerban Tudaji was convicted of seeking independence for Xinjiang - or trying to "split China,'' in legal terms - and for making and transporting explosives and ammunition.

The human rights group Amnesty International issued a statement saying it "strongly condemned'' the execution and expressing concern that Kuerban Tudaji didn't receive a fair trial. China's communist government claims Uighur separatists are fighting to turn Xinjiang into an independent theocratic state and are part of an international Islamic terrorist network.

But foreign experts are skeptical of claims of an organized campaign. Opponents of Beijing's rule over Xinjiang say the government is using terrorism as an excuse to tighten control over a region that is divided from the rest of China by language, ethnicity and religion. Chinese leaders tolerate no challenges to Communist Party rule, but the extent of the crackdown in Xinjiang is unknown because of controls on information from the area. - AP Latest from AP-Wire

I did not see your post yesterday of Alfred (still behind in this darn ever-growing thread!). I like a pic of Alfred much better than a pic of Tippi (nothing against Tippi though).

And what about the women who smuggle drugs vaginally. That has even been done with horses. I have no idea how everyone can be physically checked inside and out whereever they go.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

That is so true. The UN spouts off all the time about the U.S. And that is about it.
