BOSTON -- The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency has been placed on standby, and public safety officials are meeting at the bunker, officials said Wednesday.
There have been reports that the FBI office in Boston received a call from an FBI office in California warning officials about a suspicious person that may be in the area. There have been no specific threats made, but FBI agents in Boston have been put on alert, and officials started to gather at MEMA at about 1:30 p.m.

We hear that a suspicious person with connection to possible terrorism, perhaps large-scale acts of violence, may be sought in Boston at this moment.
We are the American people.
There are millions of us, and hundreds of thousands if not millions in the effected area.
We are your potential eyes and eyes.
Please use us. We wish to be of service.
Could you accordingly please give us a physical description of this 'suspicious person', for example, height, weight, hair/eye color and ethnicity?
My first speculation is that the terrorists are smart enough to make a feint at Boston to draw attention away from their real target, the President's inauguration tomorrow in Washington DC......
More than a bit scary!
