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.

With the nation on high alert for al-Qaida terrorists, the Department of Homeland Security is putting its border officers through "etiquette" classes to soften their image and make them less threatening to arriving foreign immigrants, WorldNetDaily has learned.

You didn't miss anything. Just a spammer's website trying to sell Viagra or something like that.

I dont see why we dont have bomb sniffing dogs all over the place (with muzzles on of course).

[HipShot]

Especially when you consider El Zoro's reaction to how illegal aliens are treated.

Do you have any information as to the OTM makeup? Is there a list of nationalities?

[judicial meanz]

Believe it or not, must law enforcement KI-9's are trained and certified for a variety of things

Drugs, explosives, cadavers, patrol, etc.

Bomb dogs are very common. Most cops can call one up, but it may take some time for the dog to get there.

[HipShot]

For every dog, you need a human. You'd also need to have manned checkpoints everywhere.

[HipShot]

IIRC, there are only 2 good bomb dog schools in the country. Lackland AF base and Philly K9 Acadamy. Do you know if they're keeping up with demand?

[judicial meanz]

They keep up with federal demands, but from my experience, most local and state LE buy their dogs local kennels who import the dogs from Europe already trained to standard.

Lackland and Philly do their share also, and supply a big demand.

[HipShot]

Czechoslovakia puts out the best GSDs, IMHO.

Time's up! Hopefully all stays calm this evening.

Bonilla Demands Review of OTM Release Policy

By Karen Gleason The News-Herald Published July 31, 2004

Releasing undocumented immigrants to roam freely in the U.S. is "a terrible policy," U.S. Rep. Henry Bonilla told Del Rio and Eagle Pass leaders during a press conference in Del Rio Friday, and announced he is asking the Department of Homeland Security to take a hard look at the issue.

"If these people were being released in your neighborhood I am sure you would be outraged. This is happening in the communities I represent and I am outraged," Bonilla said in a letter Thursday to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge. Bonilla released copies of the letter during his press conference Friday.

More than 5,200 illegal immigrants from countries other than Mexico (often referred to as OTMs) have been processed in the Del Rio Sector of the U.S. Border Patrol since January 2004, Bonilla said. Of that number more than 4,400 - about 85 percent - have been subsequently released in the Del Rio Sector.

Bonilla said a total of 15,000 such undocumented immigrants have been released in Texas since the beginning of the year.....

I also found the following quote from Vincente Fox....

Per Vincente Fox, “"We're going for more. We're going for more, I'm talking about a community of North America, an integrated agreement of Canada, the United States and Mexico in the long term, 20, 30, 40 years from now.

That may mean in 10 years we can open up that border when we have reduced the gap in salaries and income."

I understand. Just thinking out loud again.

LAS VEGAS A man has been arrested after claiming he had a bomb, but authorities have shut down a street just off the Las Vegas Strip while they check his suitcase.

Sahara Avenue is closed from Las Vegas Boulevard to Interstate 15 -- and some businesses are being evacuated as a precaution.

The man has blood on his pants -- and left the suitcase behind at a gas station less than a block west of the Strip.

Now, the bomb squad's checking it out.

One report says the suitcast popped open and revealed clothing while the man walked from a steakhouse to the gas station a little after 11-30 A-M.
