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.

I haven't had a chance to go back more than 50 posts but FOX just announced another ship carrying fruit!!! will be boarded and checked because it is positive for a radiological substance when they checked.

Off Newark New Jersey coast.

Have they given any information as to where this ship set sail from? South America?

[freeperfromnj]

We beat Fox by about 3 hours.

Yikes.

I have just started reading this thread in the last day or so. Why are we not permitted to mention a site by name?

A copyright snit.

LOL, you mean you're not one of his aliases?

[Velveeta]

Who would have thought we'd come full circle back to......fruit???

Your fruit vendor's supplier????

The "Site that remains nameless" has threatened copyright lawsuit because they didnt agree with people on this board questioning their knowledge of something they posted and couldnt speak to. They became defensive and ended up costing this board a days worth of posts because of a tyriad they went into.

So, for now, the "site that remains nameles", shall remaind nameless.

Cracking up - RADIOLOGICAL fruit?

Hey, I think I saw that episode of Gilligan's Island

Funny what you find when your go searching for radiological fruit........

Summary:
Fruit flies spread contamination from a diversion pit located at the Hanford Site's 200 East Area to nearby buildings and to refuse that was then unknowingly transported off site to the City of Richland Landfill. Extensive radiological surveys and testing, including bioassays, showed that no personnel were contaminated.

Details:
On September 10, 1998, Diversion Pit 241-ER-152 was sprayed with a glycerin/monosaccharide -based fixative to reduce the likelihood of contamination spread during subsequent planned work in that pit. Similar products are used at other sites in the DOE Complex.

On September 15, 1998, while the pit was open to the environment for jumper manipulation, fruit flies were attracted to the fixative, flew into the pit, and laid eggs. The adult flies and their eggs became contaminated. Some fruit flies, probably from the next generation, later followed odors of food and refuse to a nearby temporary construction office, MO-967, where they deposited contamination in the lunchroom, in hallways, on light switches, and in a nearby garbage can and a dumpster.

At 7:45 a.m. on Monday, September 28, 1998, the dumpster at MO-967 was emptied one day ahead of its normal schedule and its contents were taken to the Richland landfill, the principal disposal site for uncontaminated Hanford Site solid refuse. At 8:45 a.m. that same day, routine radiological surveys revealed contamination in MO-967 and a nearby dumpster. A fact-finding meeting determined that contamination might have been transported to the landfill. Subsequent surveys detected contamination in two Site garbage trucks, two mobile office trailers, five other buildings, a government van, several other locations, and on the personal belongings of two workers. Contamination was later found on refuse from the Hanford Site in the city landfill. Environmental permits were obtained to move the contaminated waste back onto the Hanford Site, where it was placed in low-level waste burial grounds.

Analysis:
An investigation team worked aggressively to determine the source of contamination. Fruit flies were suspected early in the incident because of the locations of the initial contamination and because a radiological control technician observed a speck of contamination "fly away." Flying- insect traps were set to confirm fruit flies as the transport vector. In one extreme instance approximately 260 nanocuries of strontium-90 were found on nine captured fruit flies.
