The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

YOU be the Judge and get informed.

Police Secure Businesses on Terror Alert
NEW YORK - Police searched trucks, blocked streets and posted machine-gun toting officers outside financial landmarks Monday, a day after the government's chilling warning that terrorists might target the buildings with bombs.

Couple of thoughts:

(1)Nuke explosion offshore.

We know what the seismic signature of an underground nuke test looks like. The only thing on seismographs at about the right time looked like a normal earthquake.

What we don’t know is what a small nuke a little ways underwater looks like, nor what a small nuke in an open boat on the surface would look like on a seismograph. Nor do we have any way to detect a fizzle: triggering mechanism firing, but no nuclear chain reaction due to poor maintenance, old fissionables, misalignment caused by tech who couldn’t actually defuse the trigger to be certain there would be no blast, water getting into the mechanism accidentally, whatever.

So, short of Bush or Ashcroft coming out and admitting that this really did happen, it will remain a scary story to tell around campfires.

(2)Disruption of Cell communications.

However much I’d like to think that arresting the head honcho would leave the separate cells adrift, they probably have standing procedures for this eventuality, which involves checking a specific internet site for new orders.

Heh. Is that a sarcastic grin with a delighted chortle?

[freeperfromnj]

Oh no. Could the 5th the day, as some have surmised?

[HipShot]

That was the only mainstream I could find. It seems inaccurate compared to the initial call.

Thank you and everyone else for the follow-ups on last nights odd suitcase story. Sounds like it could have been a Troxler type density meter used in construction which is radioactive and is shielded, but they are rarely thrown out of car windows. Odd story to say the least. Going to try and catch up. I see there were some large fish kills off the East coast, any consensus here at TM about it yet?

One species of bottom feeding fish that goes no further than the shelf.

"Wow. That is one element I never considered -- the amputated portion of the snake can't leave, can't assimilate, has no palatable choice but to follow through." Same wow factor here - and added to this ... US airports to track departures From correspondents in Washington August 4, 2004 THE US government's system for ensuring that foreign visitors left the United States when expected would be expanded to 11 more airports and two seaports, a Homeland Security Department official said today. US-VISIT eventually is to be installed at land ports of entry. Next month, foreigners travelling with passports will be required to use the exit system and supply fingerprints and photographs. http://news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,10340388%255E1702,00.html --------------- Makes me think the Border Patrol is going to be even more challenged by outbounders.

IPN reporting no incident - false alarm @ TN state bld.

[Velveeta]

Well, that was weird.

[4thygipper]

Can you pls. update on this FOX story. What about the 5th?

[oceanview]

I'm right here on long island - no dead fish to report.

Msnbc: new info about another stream of intelligence, separate from the guy arrested in Pak.

This new stream of intel shows active AQ plan to attack.

Fairly current evidence, from several sources, including some guy in London.

Saying end of Aug/early Sept. on msnbc for attack.

The anchor on this channel is implying there is some wag the dog here...

Gen. Odom, former NSA director, in a film clip saying we could spend ourselves into penury by building all these fences, etc. This is what ObL wants. Instead, he says, we should tear some of the defenses down, in defiance.

[oceanview]

probably because they are arrresting and questioning (torture) more and more AQ people in pakistan. they have probably cased alot of locations across the US.

[oceanview]

thank goodness he is the FORMER nsa director, with logic like that.

Thanks HipShot. One species would suggest something environmental caused their deaths. I'd expect a wide variety of fish if it were a bomb.

Also glad to hear there is no plane down in the Atlantic.

Anymore detail on who the 6 people/groups Khan contacted here in the USA recently? I can't wait to explain that to all the people calling this terror alert a political move by Bush/Cheney. What dumba**es, they never even heard of the Kahn arrest in Pak., all they heard was that some info was from 3 or 4 years ago and ignore the statement that the info was updated recently, and they also fail to understand the long term planning AQ uses.

[HipShot]

They also neglected the statements on Sunday in reference to the supporting "chatter".
