I'll be glad when the Super Bowl is over. I always get the creeps about the Super Bowl Yes, and the fact that the superbowl falls on the same day as "the feast of the sacrifice" which commemorates Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son for God.
It would be highly symbolic to conduct a jihadi sacrifice on that day.

Odd. It seems to always be British Airways and Air France, but not other carriers to/from Europe. Wonder why?

I think that just because the Muslim holidays will be over, doesn't mean the threat is.
9-11 was not any Muslim or US holiday, it was "just another day", until the attacks made it significant.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1068666/posts FBI and DHS Warns of National Rail System Vulnerabilities (to terror attacks, mentions sarin gas)
WASHINGTON, DC: According to reports from law enforcement sources, a FBI and Department of Homeland Security Bulletin warned that there was a continuing terrorist threat against U.S. subways and railways. The bulletin released on Wednesday said that although no specific information pertaining to an attack existed, "such an attack could not be ruled out."
Mentioned in the bulletin was Usama bin Laden's long-term fascination with the 1995 sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway system.
"An attack on a subway or rail system could cause substantial loss of life, and would have an adverse impact on public confidence, resulting in massive economic loss," the bulletin said, according to a report of it by FoxNews.

More on Foxnews just now:
More flights may be canceled, all would be flights originating in Europe (could also include a US airline, which flies internationally, they didn't name it) and headed for the following US cities:
Newark, Washington, Miami, Los Angeles -- I think they mentioned a couple of other cities, I should have listened, instead of starting to type and missed it.
They also said, there is concern that the terrorists may plant a radiological bomb on one of the planes.
To: Dog
I'm not sure.
That was from Dec. last year.
I think there have(purportedly) been some since then.

I donno. I'll miss it. Muslim holidays bring such good will and cheer to the worldYah, isn't that when their charitable giving to the underpriveleged really increases?
Don't they give out holiday meal baskets, feed people at homeless shelters, donate toys, hats and coats?
The religion is such an asset to our country, you know, really, it is.

I wonder if our country is issuing threats to those countries that STILL brain wash their children to hate America, Jews, Christians, etc.....and to aspire to MURDER in order to win Allah's love and enternal life screwing virgins.
Perhaps a major city or two - vanishing in a high temperature cloud would be taken as a sign from Allah that his is not pleased with their murderous behavior...
I guess it's thought like that, make me unfit to be president.......
