See my post #2O (we posted within a minute of each other). This stowaway was released from jail in November.

The latest suicide bombing in Isreal proves that these extremist nuts can't be reasond with. The only cure will have to come from the barrel of a gun. Unfortunate, but I don't see any other way.

As a former Coastguardsman I can tell you that this does in fact occur. There are tens of thousands of these that arrive into our ports everyday. No way for the CG to have any possibility of inspecting each of them. It scares me to think of the possiblity OBL packing one of these full of plastic explosives, or of the same kind of fertilizer bombs that Timothy McVeigh used in the Oaklahoma city bombing and detonating this as it passes a cruise ship or causing a large container ship to sink at the mout of the St. Lawrence seaway or any port of entry in the US.

I'm sorry to say that it's going to take a few more bombings to wake up the sheeple. It's back to burying our heads in the ground. Just look at the reaction to the Baptist minister's comments regarding the true nature of Islam.

Agreed, these b*stards are coming to kill us, and once we all wake up to that fact we will be better off.

This is consistent with the Al Qaeda gameplan, exploit a small town port like Savannah and probe for weaknesses in security.

The motels are used as safe houses to move terrorists around the country, and you will see the gas stations all go up at a predetermined time.

You are exactly right. In addition to the dirty bomb plot discussions, Padilla also talked about bombing hotels and gas stations which means there are multiple operatives in the picture. They will attempt to pull these attacks off in spectacular fashion using synchronized, multi-targeted attacks as they did on 9/11. The week this country celebrates its independence is the week we need to watch.

Put "container" in the FR search engine and you get lots of stories of illegals, especially Chinese, using the containers. Since only about 1 or 2 % of them are checked, the consequences are grave.

I happened to see a COSCO container ship sail into NYC harbor one day. Nothing unusual there, except for the timing. July 3, at 5 - 6 PM. Who's going to be working the docks then, the day before the 4th of July? And what was being unloaded while America was partying?

Ouch!

I have always thought those motels were a very good way to move these people around this country unseen, and unrecorded. The convenience stores would also be a good way to furnish food and gas for these people, unrecorded.

You have to spend a great deal of time to find a motel they do not own. We tried when we were working in the Houston area, and did not find one not owned or run by them - the same with convenience stores. It was scary.
