Cops will begin checking trucks entering the Big Apple and other major cities today after the FBI received information that terrorists may use truck bombs to attack high-profile targets like the Empire State Building, The Post has learned.

A highly classified bulletin, titled "Possible Suicide Bomber Indicators,"

Guess it wasn't that secret.

as well as subtle, ones such as tightly clenched fists.

How about young arab men who just came out of a mosque?

It won't be a truck. It will be a yellow cab or a hotdog cart.

The bulletin warns cops to look for obvious signs of trouble — people wearing bulky jackets or smelling of chemicals — as well as subtle, ones such as tightly clenched fists.

They just described every homeless person in my city.

"a hot dog cart. Biowarefare alert!!!"


Don't laugh. I wouldn't buy a hotdog from a Muslim vendor. I only buy from a Greek vendor near my job. His cart his clean and terrorist free.

Like Timothy McVeigh?

[Timothy McVeigh, was identified drinking beer with a former Iraqi soldier in an Oklahoma City tavern.]

I saw no evidence of it this morning, in fact they were running some radar speed traps on the bridges I cross. truck stop and searches have declined to near zero from what I can see, maybe this will shake them up into getting their priorities right.
