If the FBI has any other reason to be worried about the semi, it's not saying.

I think I know the reason.

About a year ago, the US installed radiation detectors
at the US Canadian border.

Before the detection system was fully operational
it did detect radiation from an 18 wheeler truck
passing through
(at Detroit, I believe)
but the alarm system did not go off.

Authorities have been searching desperately for this truck ever since.

(My source for this story is Andrew Krystal,
who has contacts with CSIS (the Canadian 'CIA')
and has reported frequently
on this not well publicised story
on WABC, New York)

The truck that was stopped on the Whitestone Bridge in New York on Thursday was a white truck, smaller than a semi but still large enough to provoke a search. Also, driven by two ME types, and it was apparently stolen.

Seems to me like truck bombs are a huge possiblity here; coupled with your friend's information, I think we should all keep our eyes open.

Thanks for the info:
