Shoplifting Tags Force Fort McHenry Tunnel Closure (11/8/04 - Baltimore)
POSTED: 10:16 am EST November 8, 2004 UPDATED: 11:49 am EST November 8, 2004 BALTIMORE -- Interstate 95 at the Fort McHenry Tunnel is slowly reopening after being shut down due to police activity inside the tunnel.
Maryland Transportation Authority spokeswoman Katie Leahan said I-95 is being reopened to traffic in both directions at the tunnel.
She said the interstate was closed as a precaution after a small, suspicious, package was found on a Keith Avenue ramp over the north entrance to the tunnel. The bag contained shoplifting security tags and batteries, which made the bag chirp when it was approached.
She said the Baltimore Police Bomb Squad examined the package and detonated it at the scene with a water cannon.

Osama prompted threat-level review
NY TIMES NEWS SERVICE , WASHINGTON Sunday, Nov 07, 2004,Page 7 US President George W. Bush's senior counterterrorism advisors held an urgent meeting last Saturday morning to consider elevating the country's terrorism threat level, one day after the broadcast of a videotape by Osama bin Laden, administration officials said on Friday.
At the previously undisclosed meeting, in which senior counterterrorism officials assembled via a White House video conference hookup, Attorney General John Ashcroft and others favored ratcheting up the alert level because of the bin Laden tape, the officials said.
But others disagreed, the officials said. Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, FBI Director Robert Mueller and other White House officials expressed reservations or wanted a more detailed analysis of the tape, which contained no explicit threat of an attack against the US. In the end, the idea of raising the threat level was dropped, the officials said.
Even though no action was taken, the meeting reflected how the new bin Laden tape concerned Bush's aides as the presidential campaign moved into its final hours.
In public, Bush was cautious. In a final campaign swing through the Midwest, he responded carefully to bin Laden's message, saying that Americans "would not be intimidated or influenced" by the terrorist leader.
In his cryptic remarks, bin Laden declared that the security of the US rested with the public.
"Your security is not the hands of Kerry or Bush or al-Qaeda," he said. "Your security is in your own hands."
Bin Laden's purpose in issuing his recorded statement shortly before the election remains a matter of debate. Some officials say his message showed that bin Laden's network was so depleted that he could launch only a verbal assault at the US. Others believe it was a sign of bin Laden's confidence.
The last paragraph explains the entire situation perfectly.
We just don't know???

Press Release
TSA Warns of Stolen Airplane
November 5, 2004
TSA officials have asked the aviation industry, particularly airports and aerial applicators, to be on the look out for a stolen airplane. The plane in question is crop dusting Piper PA-25 Pawnee, tail number XBCYP. It is registered in Mexico and was stolen on November 1, 2004 from Ejido Queretaro, near Mexicali, Mexico. TSA explains that there is no indication the theft is connected to terrorist activity, but issued the alert because members of al-Qaida may have planned or may still be planning to disperse biological or chemical agents from crop dusting aircraft.
Anyone seeing this aircraft should immediately contact local law enforcement and the TSAs General Aviation Hotline at 866-GASECUR (866-427-3287).
