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.

The Electromagnetic Pulse Commission Warns of an Old Threat with a New Face

Snippet:
A nuclear-generated electromagnetic pulse "is one of a small number of threats that has the potential to hold our society seriously at risk and might result in defeat of our military forces." The Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack announced this startling conclusion in a July 22 report to Congress.1 This alarming report clears the way for Congress to debate more seriously the most effective measures to meet the threat of an EMP attack.

This article is written in such a casual way - missile found, no big deal.....

[LikeLight]

Good story . . . just happens to find missile by trash can along the Turnpike . . . just happens to decide to take it home . . . never dawns on him that it could be dangerous . . . something sounds a little off to me . . .

Got it!

Some of us are not familiar with weapons. Could you, someone, explain the range of uses for a surface to air missle? Obviously an airplane could be a target. Could a train be a target? a building? What are the limitations of such weapons?

[null and void]

Guarantee? No. But one can plan for that to be a possibility...

See freepmail

Basically they'll go for anything hot. A locomotive engine's exhaust is probably hot enough...

[Rutles4Ever]

Could you explain these charts? I see the numbers in red and green and the Z-value -- how do you translate the info?

[Velveeta]

Yes, thank you.

Have you seen this one?

Crouse said he does not believe the heist was the work of terrorists but may be someone related to the construction industry.
