Makes one wonder how many “fake” aka “cloned” trucks are driving around with bombs and other weapons.

Given the likelihood that one would be used in short order of being prepared, I'd say none so far. If there are any new ones driving around today, I'm sure we'll hear about it in a day or so.

Of course, one needs to keep such things in perspective. Tim McVeigh, for instance, didn't need a cloned truck.

I sure do.
I follow the global jihad and the gwot (online) and try to think in and out of the box each day.

Excuse me,but faked utility,plumber,cable tv, etc. have been a staple of undercover stakeouts in TV shows and movies since the 1960s!!

And the Mission Impossible team on TV in the 1970s was always pretending to be telephone repairman.

This is nothing new for the good guys or the bad guys.Wearing enemy colors has always been a high-risk,high-payoff tactic.

What is disturbing is how lax the checks are at all too many potential targets;and the fact that too few security teams have an effective means of stopping an attacker.

If you’re going to transport millions in coke, don’t you think you could get the right 800 number spraypainted on your fake van?
