As everyone else has said, report this. Also, please post here again and let us know what happens.

[Velveeta]

Well, if the terrorists didn't know that before, they do now!

[Oorang]

I get to be at a major Biotech trade show 6th thru 9th...

Do you think it would be alright is you showed up to the trade show armed and in a full bio-chem suit? (Just trying to brainstorm here...don't want anything to happen to nully)

[nw_arizona_granny]

The goal is to scare us, they are working at that.

With every threat, we change our lifestyle to match the
threat.

You are correct, a phone call or a note posted on the computer, is so much cheaper than buying explosives and
having to find a place to use them.

You couldn't pay me to go to a Buffet for dinner. Once my favorite place to eat.

[Letitring]

Reminds me of that bunch who stopped into Denny's somewhere in Va., Kentucky maybe, and the nurse overheard some things and reported them. They were stopped in Florida. Supposed to be students. Weird looking bunch complete with the robes, beards, etc. Throw up! Big hue and cry from media sorts about the Nurse violating their rights. Enough back lash that they shut up about that part of it. Anybody remember this?

[Letitring]

Sort of like how the Liberals have done? :)

[Quix]

Goodness. What did buffet's do to you?

I still love them. But I don't pig out like I used to at NAU and not gain a pound!

Sigh.

[Oorang]

Why thank you JP. Just doin' my part here.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Police say this anti-tank weapon had been rendered inoperable. It was probably purchased at a gun show to be kept as a collectible but they are not amused by its presence on a public street in a densely populated neighborhood.

Funny...that's exactly what they said about the launcher tube found on the commuter rail line here in Atlanta.

[Oorang]

We're prohibited from carrying our CCW weapons while volunteering

Why? That seems a little crazy.

[Velveeta]

One parent says she first discovered the weapon around the corner on Cumberland Avenue several days ago.

[Oorang]

Jog my memory please (I'm not questioning your post, just admitting I have a defective memory :-))

[swarthyguy]

Flt 587 was definitely a hit. Remember the UN conference that day. And if admitted, we'd be looking at nationalised US airlines. The first shoe bomber, maybe?

Also, Abu Sayyaf took credit for sinking a Ferry that killed 200. Now, the Govt has admitted jihadis sank that ferry.

We speculated on a jihadi hit while authorities said no.

We were correct.

[LikeLight]

Downing of the American Airlines plane over the Queens district of New York (City) on the 26th day of Shaban in the (Islamic) year 1422, equivalent to November 12th, 2001, killing 265 passengers as well as residents of that district.

Well, well, well . . . what do we have here?

[Oorang]

Never mind :-) I saw your explanation as I was catching up.

[Velveeta]

Thanks for watching.

[JustPiper]

After seeing the report today, yes terrorists need to eat, watch restaurants:

2 suspected al-Qaeda agents dropped in for meal, says Denny's manager in Avon

PS I also did CB Patrol for several years until 16 years ago, the risks we took with Chicago gangs reminds me of the terrorist danger

[Oorang]

Many, many thanks Jill.

Explosives Being Investigated In Joshua Tree

Significant Amount Of Explosive Devices, Bomb-Making Material

POSTED: 11:48 am PDT May 28, 2004

JOSHUA TREE, Calif. -- Explosives found in a downtown home in Joshua Tree have forced authorities to shut down a half-mile stretch of State Highway 62 in the high desert.

Sheriff's deputies were chasing a suspect east of the Circle K convenience store Friday morning when the suspect went into the home. Another man was allegedly making explosive devices, and the sheriff's bomb squad was called in.

Investigators say they found a significant amount of explosive devices and bomb-making material.

The California Highway Patrol has shut down Highway 62 between Park and Sunburst. A bomb squad robot is being used to enter the house.

LOL. Either that or I can snitch on my girls who downloaded a few kazaa songs last year.
