Sure would be nice to think these things are installed and working.

Some certainly are. And it sounds like they're damned sensitive.

The driver had tried to evade seizure and several "O" tracks were visible from the driver driving around several parked cars inside a large parking lot.

That sounds suspicious.

Speaking of suspicious activity, have any San Francisco Bay area FReepers heard anything about a zodiac boat yesterday near the Golden Gate Bridge that was spotted by the US Coast Guard and then fled? My husband's co-workers were reporting that. Hope it's just a freaky rumor and that this NY truck business is nothing serious.

There you go! $3.00 a pack (vrs. $7.00 & up in NYC) just three hours north in NH.

There's been a very long history of people being incorrectly identified as "Middle Eastern" when they weren't, in various terrorism scares (and even actual events, like the Shoe Bomber) since 9/11.

Eastern Indians, Hispanics, even half-Jamaicans. Truth is it's a hell of a lot harder to tell visually than people would like to pretend.

And actually a Pakistani isn't "Middle Eastern" they're South Asian. Pakistan isn't in the Middle East.

An intelligence reason the police focused on a white truck ?

Isn't that racial profiling?

There's actually a massive problem with various forms of illegal poaching of various critters for seafood in California, such as abalones, so there's a lot of reason for people to be in boats and evade authorities other than that they're terrorists.

NYC is loaded with Middle Eastern looking men driving panle trucks.

Of course it is, which is why they probably don't get many calls. IF they get such a call, however, they're bound to check it out, especially with the terror alert so high.

Yeh, really. I guess that rules out racial profiling. "Be on the look out for....for.....somebody."

Well, hold on now. That's not as far-fetched as you may think. I believe that in the Detroit area, there was an Islamic scam going with cigarettes, where they would purchase $500,000 worth of cigs in NC and ship them to "safe" storefronts in Detroit (high Islamic concentration). The profits were going to Al Quaida or some other Islamofascist organization.

Just may be another money-laundering Islamo-scam going on in NYC...

Yes, and since harvesting abalone is currently illegal, the increased attention could possibly slow down the poaching.
