Not very much scares me but I’ll be doing all of my CHRISTMAS shopping online this year. I know the politicians like to say we need to show the Muzzies that we arent afraid of them but being the subject of a makeshift memorial doesnt do much for me.
Doing my shopping online and/or going to small local retailers not located in malls or strip stores.
I do worry about packages being delivered during the holidays.
That reminds me I need to update my will: In case I am killed by a muslim, don’t just leave candles and flowers lying around, avenge my death!
A word to the wise, as to your current plans. I read an alert just this evening at my place of employment. The subject of this alert is very germane to your shopping plans.
The alert stated that within the last 30 days, some $32,000.00 worth of UPS uniforms have been purchased on E-Bay. Why is this germane? *Somebody* has apparently spent no small sum of money to obtain a rather large quantity of UPS uniforms outside of official UPS channels. Given the reality that we are coming upon the season of the year when package deliveries are at their annual peak, coupled with the tenor of the times, and the threats uttered by groups such as DAESH, one should be willing to connect some rather uncomfortable dots.
Can I say for dead certain that there may be a nefarious plot afoot where teams of bogus "delivery drivers" in official UPS uniforms sow havok in a number of major metropolitan areas? No I cannot, but I certainly do not rule the possibility out.
Thus a few things to be on watch for:
a UPS driver utilizing a vehicle other than a clearly marked official UPS vehicle. (UPS makes *NO* deliveries/pickups in anything other than an official "company vehicle", with logo.)
a "delivery person" who cannot present an official identification of said person as an actual employee of UPS (UPS issues all employees with such, similar to the US Postal Service.)
anything else that doesn't look "quite right".
Forewarned is forearmed...
