"There's no specific threat," Jon Allen, regional spokesman for the TSA....

No rear end. Something IS up. Too many terror related issues going on this weekend and now.

Yep. Something has to be up. And I believe it is international. There are similar things going on in Europe.

NOTE The following text is a quote:

www.tsa.gov/lawenforcement/programs/fams.shtm

Federal Air Marshals
Office of Law Enforcement/Federal Air Marshal Service

The Federal Air Marshal Service promotes confidence in the nation’s civil aviation system through the effective deployment of Federal Air Marshals (FAMs) to detect, deter, and defeat hostile acts targeting U.S. air carriers, airports, passengers, and crews.

Federal Air Marshals must operate independently without backup, and rank among those Federal law enforcement officers that hold the highest standard for handgun accuracy. They blend in with passengers and rely on their training, including investigative techniques, criminal terrorist behavior recognition, firearms proficiency, aircraft specific tactics, and close quarters self-defense measures to protect the flying public.

Federal Air Marshals have an ever expanding role in homeland security and work closely with other law enforcement agencies to accomplish their mission. Currently, air marshals staff several positions at different organizations such as the National Counterterrorism Center, the National Targeting Center, and on the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces. In addition, they are also distributed among other law enforcement and homeland security liaison assignments during times of heightened alert or special national events.

Successful accomplishment of the Federal Air Marshal’s mission is critical to civil aviation and homeland security.

“Checkpoints”? In the United States.

You see, when the idiots judges first okay-ed “sobriety checkpoints” by their rulings, somebody should have dragged them off the bench and slapped them around the courthouse.

Last week's Border Patrol Weekly Blotter report showed a Somali apprehended. There were others from other countries the week before I believe. I never saw anything indicating the 200 Somalis already here illegally have been located:

Feds issue terror watch for the Texas/Mexico border

Snip: In a separate case, Anthony Joseph Tracy, of Virginia, who admitted to having ties to Al Shabaab, is currently being prosecuted for his alleged role in an international ring that illegally brought more than 200 Somalis across the Mexican border. Prosecutors say Tracy used his Kenya-based travel business as a cover to fraudulently obtain Cuban travel documents for the Somalis. The smuggled Somalis are believed to have spread out across the United States and remain mostly at large, court records show.

It might be related to the spate of shootings and other threats going on right now.

The way this administration is going,it wouldn’t be beyond the norm to have someone finally go McVeigh.It is not Waco redux but it is getting kind of close.

But it is good that they are doing something with their resources that could give pause to someone out to do harm to American civilians.

Is this Douglas County, Colorado?

One of my pet peeves is people posting local news without bothering to mention just where “Local” is.

Possibly TSA Cadets/FTO’s in training. They’re hiring like crazy.
