Anyone hear the LA related terror blurb on CNN minutes ago?

It was one of those "Just In" things. Soemthing about people in Los Angeles being rounded up on non-terror related charges, just to "get them off the street". Something else about unnamed sources saying "we're running against a ticking clock"., "biggest investigation ever". Kinda ominous.

4. well ticking clock

is ominous.

Are there any bowl games in LA coming up? Rose Bowl in Pasadena?

My nightmare has always been a terrorist group getting their hands on a small russian backpack nuke on the black market and using it. It wouldn't be strong enough to destroy a whole city, but it could pretty much obliterate anything within a half mile- mile radius.
