I wonder what they've got up their sleeves this time? Luckily, other truckers are no doubt keeping their eyes open.
"So, does this mean the next coordinated attack is going to somehow involve big rigs?"
Sounds like it to me. Here's hoping we do a better job of spotting the danger than we did before 9/11.
One such "truck driving school" owner/operator from Kansas City has a "truck driving school" was arrested this past summer for arranging to have his "students" only take their tests for licensing on a certain day when they would be assured to have a specific person working who made sure that everyone passed. The DMV employee that was "assisting" on passing those "students" was also arrested. (Probably let go as he is a Civil Servant, guaranteed to keep his job and pay grade above all else.)
An interesting sidebar - all of those students were Muslims, many from African countries presumably brought here on "humanitarian" outreach programs.
I wonder how carefully they are inspecting trucks passing over major bridges and through major tunnels (e.g. Verrazzano Bridge, Lincoln Tunnel, etc.). I know they were doing it quite a bit for a while, but as I have not passed through any of the major NY area bridges and tunnels lately, I don't know if they're still performing random inspections of large vehicles there.
Of course, it would still be possible for the Islamo-nutjobs to do the mother of all Oklahoma City bombings someplace else where security might not be tight, but the potential to kill lots of innocent people is high (and the Islamo-fascists just love places like that).
