Did she add that "Let's Roll" badge and the book list? I just noticed them this time, and I really like them.

I had seen references with it on the ih board as a result I started looking at it. Found that what you guys were doing was pretty neat.

8 fighter jets added to growing Boston security

8 fighter jets added to growing security
By Brian MacQuarrie and Bryan Bender, Globe Staff | July 24, 2004

Eight F-16s will patrol the skies over Boston during the Democratic National Convention, military officials said yesterday, as police and military personnel took positions in unprecedented security precautions in the city.

Boston residents can expect to hear and see military aircraft overhead starting today, as part of what the North American Aerospace Defense Command described as "a series of exercise training flights."

F-16 fighter jets will probably continue patrolling Monday and throughout next week's four-day convention, state officials said. The flights will operate 24 hours a day and are under the direction of the US Secret Service, one of the state officials said.

Jemaah Islamiyah failing to regroup, attack Southeast Asia, says report
eTaiwan News / AP ^ | 7/25/04
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1178016/posts

Jemaah Islamiyah has tried in the last year to carry out terror attacks in Southeast Asia, but failed because of a lack of funds and support from other militant groups, and an absence of planners among its ranks, officials said.

The al-Qaida-linked organization's ability to mount attacks was severely dented by the arrest of scores of militants after September 11, 2001, including Hambali, the group's alleged operations chief, a Malaysian government official told The Associated Press on Friday.

Remnants of Jemaah Islamiyah have made several unsuccessful attempts to regroup in Indonesia so they could launch more strikes, the official said on condition of anonymity. One of their biggest problems was they "could not agree on a leader to take over from Hambali," he said.

Hambali, an alleged high-ranking al-Qaida leader and the brains behind Jemaah Islamiyah, was Southeast Asia's most-wanted fugitive before his August 2003 arrest by Thai police, who turned him over to U.S. custody.

IMPORTANT:

Things to Look Out For: Be Observant:

Multiple sightings of the same suspicious person, vehicle or activity at the same location;

Individuals or activities that don't "fit" into the surrounding environment;

Individuals sitting in a parked vehicle for an extended period of time;

Individuals or several people sketching or taking notes, photographing or videotaping areas or buildings not normally associated with tourist activity;

Clothing out of place for the weather, such as someone wearing a heavy coat in hot weather;

Individuals or people carrying unusually heavy bags or backpacks;

Vehicles -- especially vans, U-Hauls or delivery trucks -- improperly parked or parked in locations not normally associated with deliveries;

Follow your instinct. If something doesn't look right, it might not be.

Addendum:
POSSIBLE SIGNS OF TERRORISM

Unusual videotaping or photography of buildings or other critical infrastructure.
Videotaping is one of the ways that terrorists gather information about a possible target. A major terrorist plot in Singapore was averted when videotapes of the buildings to be attacked, including embassies, were discovered.

Suspicious vehicles near significant buildings or in public places.
Terrorists use vehicles for many purposes, from surveillance to planting bombs (such as in Oklahoma City or Bali). Vehicles may be parked for an unusual length of time, sometimes in no-parking areas. Explosives can be heavy, so cars and vans may sit abnormally low on their suspensions. They may have expired registrations or have false or missing plates. There was one recorded incident where an attack was foiled because a vehicle had front and rear plates that did not match.

Suspicious accommodation needs.
The way terrorists use, rent and buy accommodation is often suspicious. A British example was a rented garage that was used as a bomb factory. A resident became suspicious and reported men coming and going wearing rubber gloves. This led to a number of arrests of terrorists who had already attacked Heathrow Airport.

Unusual purchases or possession of fertilizer or chemicals.
Fertilizer is a widely available product that has been used in many terrorist bombs. The Oklahoma City bombing killed 168 people. One of the clues in that case was a receipt for two tons of fertilizer.

A lifestyle that does not add up.
While planning an attack, terrorists may lead lives that appear unusual or suspicious. The 9/11 terrorists are classic examples – learning to fly but not wanting to learn how to land. The leader of that group also paid cash for many large purchases such as flight training, accommodation, vehicles and air tickets.

False or multiple identities.
Terrorists often use false or stolen documents, including passports and drivers’ licenses. They can also have several identities and may give conflicting details to those they come in contact with. One example was an alert bank employee who noticed a series of unusual transactions and identified an account that had been opened in a false name. They reported it to authorities, who uncovered links to a terrorist group.

Note: Someone asked about the integrity of the Rediff publication, and from what I could tell from looking at the investor information, they are listed on NASDAQ and are legitimate by all appearances.
