ANOTHER terror scare from port of Miami? on cnn

[Philosoraptor]

Yesterday's 3 suspicious middle eastern men scare is over, this one is live on Monday, suspicious package testing positive for bomb making material?

[LSK]

1. most household materials could be "bomb making material"

[Philosoraptor]

3. C-4 plastic explosives!

[LSK]

5. waiting for the real story...

Ive been around the report and confirm later media too long.

[gkhouston]

10. agreed...

"C-4 plastic explosives" will probably end up being four Fisher-Price Little People sticks of dynamite that someone spotted. :eyes:

[Philosoraptor]

11. "Play Dough"

[originalpckelly]

20. I wonder if it's a dirty bomb...

because why would someone drop this off at the port of Miami? No point in that, not enough people. But a dirty bomb, that'd make sense, because they'd have to ship it in to the US.

[Philosoraptor]

22. In supplies for a cruise ship.

[itsmesgd]

2. the sky is falling....

run away, run away.
Holy crap, what is behind the recent batshit craziness of the media?
Are people expecting an attack so that we can then attack Iran?
Is this in any way tied to the chimp's speech on wednessday?
Are there not any missing blonde girls for the media to focus on?

[spanone]

12. This is all prepatory for Juniors speech. Keep the folks, unsettled, so to speak.

[Philosoraptor]

14. He WILL mention these scary events

He'll scare us, then brag how safer we are under his skirts.

[Eurobabe]

35. Quick GRAB DUCT TAPE and plastic tarps!!!

Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

4. put on your orange alert

shirts... we need fear to spread quickly prior to Chimpy's speech... this gov't and its corporate media is an abomination :grr:

[Philosoraptor]

6. I AM wearing orange! Shouldn't I be wearing candy apple red?

[gkhouston]

7. Only if you want your insurance to go way, way up. n/t

[HCE SuiGeneris]

8. I lost my terror

color wheel Help me! :scared:

[itsmesgd]

9. I agree, completely

they need to scare us so that the chimp can save us.

[ShortnFiery]

15. Yes, it's getting beyond obvious they jump from one contrived *CRISIS*

to another. Yet, nothing every materializes from their "The Sky is Falling" scenarios.

Damn, I despise our M$M. :(

[Eurobabe]

38. Terra' Button

[Norquist Nemesis]

13. This might very well backfire big time on Bush for Wed

He campaigned on the promise that he would 'keep us safer'! He hasn't, though.

He campaigned on the promise that we'd be fighting them over there so we wouldn't have to fight them here! We are, though.

He emphatically told us that re-deployment out of Iraq (better known as the 'cut-n-run') was not a strategy for "Victory in Iraq". He hasn't tried it though, so how can he be sure?

...and now he wants escalate things?

[HCE SuiGeneris]

16. I'm sorry. It's not fair to use

deductive reasoning against our Chimperor :sarcasm:

[butterfly77]

17. Now we are hearing all of the ...

terror scares,I have heard many things throughout the past few years that could have been construed as a terror attack, but because of the election they would make sure to tell us it had nothing to do with terrorism now that have gotten the word to let it all hang out. There are speaker after speaker appearing on c-span right now along with the liberman,Mc Cain meeting to convince us to go along with bush's surge.Some are saying we have to show bipartisanship and stand behind their leader...

[originalpckelly]

18. Holy shit, this is a real bomb!

[Philosoraptor]

19. Apparently it got past the dogs too.

Not encouraging.

[originalpckelly]

21. This is not a good thing...

[originalpckelly]

24. C-4 can be shaped, I'm thinking dirty bomb or this is a leftover...

from ones they put in some type of cargo ship or cruise ship.

[gkhouston]

23. planted? n/t

[HCE SuiGeneris]

25. of course -- but by whom?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

26. Eek! Scary! Chertov, we need more money!

The more incidents, the bigger the budget from homeland security.

[Philosoraptor]

27. Now suggesting it may be a false/positive bomb test result

The dogs took no notice of the package, but their bomb sensing device says otherwise.

[gkhouston]

28. is this the bomb sensing device that may have provided a false positive?

[Philosoraptor]

30. "all signs point to yes"

[originalpckelly]

36. Actually, depending on the chemicals...

it could be lotion on a package.

[gkhouston]

37. so...

Vaseline Intensive Care... the "Intensive Care" is supposed to be a hint that you can get more out of it than silky smooth hands? }( Or so some detecting equipment might think?

[originalpckelly]

42. Well, I can't find out what would cause it. C-4 doesn't contain glycerin...

which might be similar to the glycerin in lotion. So this may not be a positive triggered by a benign substance.

[LSK]

45. here it comes....

wait wait wait...

:rofl:

[spanone]

46. Rove knows that most folks only see the headline.Most think they caught 3 terrorists there yesterday

[butterfly77]

29. So are we suppose to think that...

if it were any any other president that they wouldn't take precautions. I say they would take more than this lying dumbass bastard. He is not protecting anyone but himself. Are he cheney and the families in the bunkers yet? By the way where are our bunkers...

[seabeyond]

31. tanker chemical leak.... sugar texas. anyone know why birds died in austin yet

anyway, new breaking story tanker leak in sugarland texas

[HCE SuiGeneris]

32. Everyone wave

:hi: to KKarl and Co. as they watch our reactions to all this fear-mongering.

[gkhouston]

33. I will, as soon as I find a smiley with the right number of fingers. n/t

[HCE SuiGeneris]

41. like this

[originalpckelly]

34. Oh come now, this is a real bomb.

I think this is a record for the conspiracy theorists. Best policy is not to be afraid and be cautious.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

39. No evidence of a bomb.

Likely just a false positive. Happens all the time.

[butterfly77]

43. I guess they didn't get the reaction they wanted...

oh well, if at first they don't succeed try,try again...

[LSK]

49. were you here for liquidgate??? the tinfoilers were right that day

[LSK]

47. show Karl just how scared we are

[Chorophyll]

40. It's sad that I've become this cynical but

we've got a brand new Democratic Congress, and Dubya wants to get his surge on...

hmm, how about a terror alert?

[butterfly77]

44. We have known all along ...

that they are liars, I guess this is for the base, time for his poll numbers to go up and bring out some more of his arrogance...

[Philosoraptor]

48. Whatever it was, it just blew up, in a small puff in a shed.

[LSK]

50. yes, cant leave any evidence of play dough n/t

[Chorophyll]

51. Ooooh, scary. n/t
