Heightened Security In Place At Penn Station; Attack Could Paralyze Transit Between Boston, Washington

Cops, Feds Armed With M16s On Patrol For Forseeable Future

###

The world's economic fears were violently pushed aside on Wednesday by another global threat -- terrorism.

A massive coordinated attack was launched in Mumbai, India just hours after the FBI warned that Al Qaeda may be targeting New York's subways and railroads.

If Al Qaeda terrorists have their way there will be chaos and mayhem here this holiday season, a mass transit bomb plot that would probably affect all the subway and train lines at Penn and Grand Central stations.

"The threat is serious, the threat is significant, and it is plausible," said Congressman Peter King, R-Long Island, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee.

Notice how al-queerda doesn’t want to cripple a Red State? That’s because Oklahoma, Alabama, Texas, etc. all still believe in the 2nd amendment.

I just don’t understand the implications...could someone explain them to me.

Many meto areas like DC simply can’t function without mass transit. The road systems simply can’t handle the volume.

An attack on a metro or rail system probably could be repaired in short order but people simply will not get on board again unless they feel safe. There is no way to do airport type screenings in any practical way. It would take months to get people back ridding.

they won’t respect and love us until after inauguration?
why would terrorists attack a nation that would elect a black man with the middle name “Hussein” as president?

no worries about the southern border.
Brilliant Barry chose Janet Napolitano as new chief of homeland security
what an impressive lot of security, military coordination intelligence and antiterrorist background she brings to this vital position

again, no worries
