I'm suspicious that all the Anthrax and terrorist targets to date have been aimed at the East Coast. I find it difficult to believe that terrorists would not have planned "something" for Los Angeles (the second largest city in the US, largest West Coast shipping port, and "entertainment capital of the world") or San Francisco or Seattle...
Am I ready for a new tin-foil hat?
Any thoughts/comments/suggestions from FReepers (including the newest styles in tin-foil hats and the best suppliers of tin-foil)?

They probably think that all the liberals out here are on their side. They don't want to kill them until the last.

I've been wondering the same thing. They did have plans to blow up the Space Needle during the Millenium celebration.
Luckily the guy was caught at the Canadian border.

They don't want to live in California any more than anybody else does.

Berkeley is actually helping the enemy, not hurting them.

I have thought this as well. It's a target-rich environment, and suspiciously untouched by terrorist violence.

(BTW, tell this to the 30 million people already living in California.)

Maybe if there is a second wave it will be on the west coast.

Did you see the PBS Frontline show on Thursday night?
I only got to see the last 15 minutes, but it appears that the guy picked up
at the US-Canadian border in that plot actually was planning to blow up
the terminals at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
I don't know if that was the only target or in addition to the Space Needle.
There are still too many bad guys out there!

My imagination is going overtime....I have been pondering why anthrax is hitting mostly the areas that were hit by the airplanes (D.C., N.Y.) Could those terrorists have packed some anthrax into their "baggage" "carryons" or does "outdoor air/sunlight" kill it? I am having difficulty understanding how 2-3 letters could cause such rampant coverage of anthrax spores.

I just said the same thing to my wife about half an hour ago. Do you have a hat for me.

Two cavalry soldiers are standing guard at night. It's dark.
Frightened young private: Shore is quiet out there.
Grizzled old Veteran: Yeah. Toooo quiet.
Thwackckckckck! (Private falls dead with arrow through the heart)
Indian attack commences....

I am being facetious, but can you imagine the heck Osama would catch from his four wives
and G-d-only-knows how many children if they found out he'd blown up
Disneyland/California Adventure or the Golden Gate Bridge?
I suspect that even the Muslims in Indonesia would not be happy when they found out
that Osama had "killed Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Pluto"!
Osama and Co. may be terrorists, but they'd rather not blow up a potential vacation spot
or someplace they'd like to have a part-time home.

I have the opposite thought. What if there are no more terrorist attacks for a long time? What if that is the terrorist strategy? Without more attacks to blame on bad guys and galvanize the West to keep up the war...the war might falter and just at that time they will strike again.

My sincere hope is that couldn't plan that far ahead!

977 mid-easterners are still being detained. Their plans were interrupted.
