It occurred to me that they "exposed" this "scary" terror plot
Way early and JUST for effect to prove the HSA is on the job. These guys had NO experience in explosives and NO explosives, just a concept. I would have though the HSA would have waited till it was farther along. Oh, and about those pipes, shut off valves everywhere, you don't have exposed fuel pipes without shutoff valves.

2. Interesting that this old news "breaks" just as Bartlett resigns.
Could there be a "common cause"? Please stand by.

5. Yup, here's how it goes
"Hey, you guys at HSA, got anything going on?"

"Yeah, an angry old man and some kids fantasizing about blowing up JFK, no threat, not a problem."

"Hey HSA guys, can we use this for cover to deflect ole Danny from being the focus of the news?"

"Sure thing scary White House operative, we'll get right on it. Set it up for Friday night?"

"Yeah, that's good. hehehehehehe."

3. on top of that, they have pressure loss sensors that close the shutoff
valves automatically. Ive worked on the computers that run them.... All that would have been lost would be the fuel in the broken segment...

4. Terra, terra, terra!
Be very afraid! And of communicable diseases, too! You must give up all your freedom to the government so it can protect you! Freedom isn't free! We need a strong decider who can protect us!

:sarcasm:

6. I wonder when they'll catch the anthrax killers or killer?
Seems like the FBI done a lot better catching terrorists when Bill Clinton was president.

9. "they" are just doing a terra check on the pulse of the terrified -
their way of polling is to run one of these plots up the flag and see which percentage still pays any attention at all....that's their base.

Ho Hum....I did notice that the Sox crushed the Yanks last night - now THAT's news!

12. They need something to do
to justify their jobs. What a load. It's just that the color alerts on Faux have been put in the closet. They need us to know that we must live in fear and the only thing that will make us safe are Queen George and President Cheney. Ohhh, I'm soo scaaaaared.

15. It's to take the attention off of the TB guy and the glaring question of
does HSA do its job or is it just another bottomless pit in which we are pouring tax monies.

16. Good point. My question is, where did he get the TB?
He's a scum personal injury lawyer, and LOOKS Republican. Maybe he should have married the Runaway Bride.

18. They wanted to distract us from the Dem debate. If this
attack was just in the talk phase, there was no hurry to move right now. Why didn't they wait until all four were in country.

20. I think it was to force the issue on the Dems for the debate tonight.
And it was the first thing brought up.It forces us to play by the Right's playbook right from the start.
