"It's never unusual to see them take a van or a taxi anywhere because they do it pretty regularly," Destrehan resident Troy Broussard said.

So we have Islamic crewmembers jumping ship and into taxis on a pretty regular basis. I wonder if anyone in Washington or the INS, etc. is aware of this. Anything in Houston that would be of interest to a terrorist?

you mean besides about a half-billion gallons of oil stores,
a thousand chemical plants, and seven million people ?

I grew up in Destrehan area. Most of the oil refineries and chemical plants are located up-river in Norco about 3 miles from Ormond/Destrehan.

The security is a little more tight at the refinery where I'm working today. There has been a parish deputy patrol on duty 24 hrs. a day just partolling the docks from on the Mississippi River levee, and no unauthorized vehicals are allowed on the levee.

The grain elevators located in Destrehan is the only place where I have seen taxis pull up to take the ship crew to town, (or bring women to the docks for the crew).

I think the taxi driver should have dropped them off at the sheriffs office.

Houston has a large Muslim/Pakistani presence and, I hear, the home of the largest Maosue in the US!
