Terra alert at my apartment complex.

On my door this evening:

"Dear Residents:

As you have seen in the news in recent days, the FBI has informed apartment building owners and managers that a general, non-specific threat of terrorist activities may exist for apartment buildings. In passing along the information to the apartment industry, the FBI emphasized that the information was general and non-specific in nature, The FBI also indicated that it would continue to work with other agencies to gather more specific information, if any exists, and that if additional credible and specific information is forthcoming, it will be passed along."

6. I'd be more concerned with someone armed with an RPG

sitting outside a tanker storage facility where propane trucks roll in and out or in town waiting for the next train to roll through and blow the propane tank on a moving train or take out an overpass/underpass. Why not take out the thousand gallon oxygen tank at a major hospital with an RPG? park a car laden with explosives in a mall garage? I can promise you that shopping centers do not have bomb detecting devices...The gov't is trying to keep us afraid that is all they are doing.

Apartment building terrorism, yes, something we really need to be afraid of. That is what the warnings are for, a daily reminder that we need to be VERY afraid, but don't worry cause Bushco will protect us.

7. They'll never drop a "Cleaning bomb" will they - bastards!
