Airports Warned About Terror Dry Runs
By MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN, Associated Press Writer

34 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Airport security officers around the nation have been alerted by federal officials to look out for terrorists practicing to carry explosive components onto aircraft, based on four curious seizures at airports since last September.

The unclassified alert was distributed on July 20 by the Transportation Security Administration to federal air marshals, its own transportation security officers and other law enforcement agencies.

I AM SOOO SICK OF 9/11 & TERROR ALERT!

5. Is that like dry heaves? Sounds painful, no wonder they're warning people.

[beam me up scottie]

7. Right.

The seizures at airports in San Diego, Milwaukee, Houston and Baltimore included "wires, switches, pipes or tubes, cell phone components and dense clay-like substances," including block cheese, the bulletin said. "The unusual nature and increase in number of these improvised items raise concern."

Security officers were urged to keep an eye out for "ordinary items that look like improvised explosive device components."

The 13-paragraph bulletin was posted on the Internet by NBC Nightly News, which first reported the story.

A federal official familiar with the document confirmed the authenticity of the NBC posting but declined to be identified by name because it has not been officially released

"dense clay-like substances"?

Doesn't he usually use Air Force One?

"There is no credible, specific threat here," TSA spokeswoman Ellen Howe said Tuesday. "Don't panic. We do these things all the time."

10. "...based on four curious seizures at airports since last September."

suspend the 2008 elections.

[Rainscents]

14. That is what I was thinking too!

I have said... over and over from 2001 when he took office, he has no intention of leaving WH! My prediction seems to be close to truth. Of course, I had been told, I was out of my mind for saying this.

[Horse with no Name]

13. I posted on the 20th

I took my daughter to the airport that morning and they had signs posted that they were under TSA special alert or something along those lines.
She was bumped from her flight because they were checking EVERYONE individually...that was at DFW. However, she said in Portland and Phoenix that security wasn't at all that way.
Things that make you go hmmmm...

[Rainscents]

16. These people (WH) in charge is power hungry

They'll do anything to keep people in FEAR.

start the fear story now because Leahy and the gang are probably going to meet again and talk about Alberto's testimony today.
