The Atlanta WSB-TV noon local news broadcast reported that the FBI, Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and Atlanta Police department is looking for a tan PT Cruiser with Canadian license plates last seen leaving the Charlie Brown Municipal Airport. For those not familar with Atlanta, Charlie Brown is just west of downtown and slightly north of Hartsfield.
The occupants of the vehicle were seen by airport security staff taking pictures of aircraft flight operations, aircraft fuel services and the Rathyeon aircraft maintance facilities over a "prolonged period of time" according to a Rathyeon employee. When the people were approached by airport security, they ran to the PT Cruiser and wrecklessly left the parking lot according to the same witness.
No law enforcement officers were quoted in the story and no additional description was given to help identify the suspicious airport photographers. The license plate numbers were also not disclosed.
That is all that is known at this time. Additional updates will be issued as warranted.
Keep your eyes and ears open...

You can rent anything with a fake ID and cash.
Hmmm. Trish is Canadian--
I think she should be interrogated immediately. And, if everyone else is busy with weekend stuff, I guess I'll be available to tackle the job...

This sounds more like rich kids/Euro plane spotters than anything else. Embry Riddle is letting out for the summer and it would not surprise me one bit if this was just a car load of Canuks Yuppie Liberal rich kids rolling into town, snapping photos of some jets and heading on home.
When I attended ERAU there was a lot of Canadian and European kids there whos parents we very wealthy, these kids usually drove nice cars and lived in off campus houses or apartments their parents rented or bought for them.
I somehow doubt this is terrorist related maybe tourist related, but not terrorist related.

It's guaranteed to SEEM that way if people LOOK for things going on and make a point of collecting them in one place.
Would that we had "collected everything in one place"-and I mean EVERYTHING- prior to September 11,2001.Perhaps 3,000 + people would still be alive.
No wrecks on the way out, eh?
(Hint: Try "recklessly". The root word, "reck", comes from the Old Norse word "roekja", to have/take care).
I'm always amused by this misspelling (which is why I bothered to post a spelling correction). One time I actually saw a truck on the freeway that had a professionally printed sign on the back that said "Report wreckless driving to 1-800-XXX-XXXX". I was tempted to call the number and say, "I'm calling to report that your truck hasn't had a wreck yet, just as the sign asked me to", but I didn't think they'd get the joke.
