We will know soon enough but the peeps getting ready to head home may not.

I would say Lock and Load but y'all don't have CCW there.

A credible threat against the NY Subway system is what was told to the Congressman from NY.

It is reported now that it was credible but not viable.

It is a good thing it could not be carried out since they waited from 9 AM 2 days to bring it out.

They must be worried about lone Engineering students commiting suicide on or near mass transit.


Kinda like the one in OK

I'm glad I'm taking a car home tonight.


Even if I saw the suicide bomber, being I can't carry a gun with me, there's not much I can do to prevent him from killing a car full of New Yorkers.

The 19 operatives were to place improvised explosive devices in the subways using briefcases, according to two sources.

eta: That is a hell of a lot more info than most of these
"threats" come with...

Hm, 19 operatives and a coordinator?  Maybe 4 teams of 5 again?  

Or 19 seperate individuals doing their thing in a coordinated manner?  

Blech.

maybe the NY Subway just wants to do maintenance this weekend.

NYC just found reason to become a bigger police state.  NYC'ers say goodbye to your civil rights and hello to more gun bans.

uh no, they know better than to fuck with red states. red states people have guns and know how to use them.

I seriously doubt that they are concerned with red/blue.  I think they are more concerned with how to do the most damage.

There was a press conference  by the NYPD(?) on the radio a moment ago. the guy said to keep an eye out for inanimate objects (briefcases, strollers, etc.)



How many more thousands of American deaths will it take to at least acknowledge who we're at war with?

But, but, but... Bin Laden promised to spare any state that voted against GWBush in that taped message he gave just a couple days before the '04 election!
