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!

14 Muslim hijackers battling 100+ passengers in the aisles for the control of an aircraft in flight is one heck of a nightmare.

>>>Army Chief Says War Looks Grim

If that is so, why do you think two high profile persons of interest would be turning themselves in? Opinion?

[judicial meanz]

They would need to gain control of the A/C to do anything, but once they did, its essentially one giant air to ground missile.

Thats 9-11 in a nutshell.

"Hasn't Yasser Arafat claimed that he invented hijacking?"

I seem to remember that hijackings got going big time with folks hijacking planes in the 1960's to Cuba. That was a big fad for that decade. Never could figure why. The hijackers were mostly arrested and put in prison by the Cuban authorities.

[HipShot]

It would be easier if people were puking all around them. They wouldn't need to impact the entire aircraft, would they?

[HipShot]

Well, since you are so much OLDER than me, I'll take your word for it. :)

[judicial meanz]

Thats true.


In conclusion:

This line of thinking we just discussed is eerily similar to the Chinese "Assassins Mace" theory of military operations.

I recommend reading it. Its enlightening as to where this whole hijacking thing may have originated.

[ExSoldier]

:~P

[HipShot]

That's the second time you've recommended it. It's next on my mandatory list.

So the bathroom thing may actually be for combining otherwise innocuous chemicals to temporarily disable personnel?

Yup. Your mission is to get into the queue and search the bathroom, dump any chemicals down the toilet (airplanes dump overboard) and replace them with the same volume of water.

That way they won't realize their skinkbombs are duds until they are committed and exposed for what they are.

Even the PC crowd will allow you to take them out once the attack has started...

[judicial meanz]

Read the assymetrical warfare portion of the theory. its a little scarce to find, but enlightening.

[HipShot]

I keep a copy of Sun Tzu's "The Art Of War" on my PDA. I never leave home without it. There are a few parallels to the business world. :)

Speaking of Arafat, did any one else see this? State of Emergency Declared in Gaza.

Crisis due to militants abduction of police chief (and others.) Arafat refuses to accept resignations...could this be the end of Arafat?

Nite nite.

Wall Street Journal Misses the Mark on Immigration Debate

June 28, 2004

If America cannot protect its borders, how can it ensure the security of the homeland? Wouldn't it be easier to stop terrorists before they enter the country rather than trying to track them down once they are already here? Earlier this month, a man said to be a sleeper agent for al Qaeda was arrested in New York. According to an ABC News report, the man told authorities that al Qaeda is planning more attacks within the United States. The man also revealed a scheme "to smuggle terrorists across the Mexican border."

He did try to bring a halt to the elections because they were not going his way. He also blamed Israel for the latest bombing that killed a 19 year old female IDF soldier.

[HipShot]

Time for one of the IDF's "blaze of glory" rockets.

[Fred Nerks]

I really hope things are getting hot for him. Don't laugh, I dreamed he was assassinated by one of his own, a suicide bomber. Maybe wishful thinking, but I'm waiting for that dream to come true.

Everything in that article is history. Most of the players are room temperature. OBL and KSM are the key players that may still be actively directing activities today, but there is nothing new here.

[Calpernia]

BUMP!!!!
