Same old stuff, no specifics, no info for the public nothing. I guess they didn't learn their lesson in Boston. After the lockdown they finally caught the guy when the public was allowed to go out and look around. Odd how this is all happenening when not to long ago the great leader was braying how AQ was pretty much done. Must have been another lie. Dear leader managed to fit golf into his weekend. I guess golf courses weren't mentioned in the "chatter".

"SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The Department of Homeland Security is beefing up its presence at airports, train stations and other travel hubs in the United States in the wake of global travel warning imposed on all U.S. citizens. Local authorities are not going into specifics but the San Francisco Police Department does acknowledge receiving a bulletin by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and DHS. The SFPD says their officers are monitoring various areas of the city and will determine if additional resources are necessary.
They say they have the ability to rapidly deploy and redeploy resources as the department deems. No specific location has been mentioned, but authorities are keeping a close eye on airports, train stations and other transportation hubs. There is also increased scrutiny of visitors coming into the United States.
These latest measures have been implemented out of an abundance of caution."

Either we'll show that we're good little frightened sheep and nothing will happen while the government continues to harass us and tap the phone,

or

We'll ignore the fear mongering and they'll let a few "terrorists" slip between the cracks so they can say "we told you so."

It's the same **** every 3-6 months.

Will probably get more widespread coverage as the day goes on...it's more than SF.

You guys really should start reading foreign news and those opinions of the "delusionals"
I read Rubini before Rubini became "cool" and I didn't lose my 401K value in 2008.

I think your correct. They are in the process of validating why they have to tap every communication. We will hear a lot about "chatter" and the like coming maybe even some arrests based on the "chatter" to really get folks to sign over more of their rights.

"Officials say the suspects said things like 'Doorbell' and 'Piers Morgan' as terror codes and they even left behind a MANIFESTO"

Notice how the terrorists are targeting liberal places like Boston and SF?

Wouldn't want to hit an area where people are armed and ready to defend themselves, now would they?

That might put a little crimp in their style.

That's their base voter pool.
This just reinforces the justification for the "moderate infringement" of your rights.

Keep your voters believing in you.

{yawn} As for me . . . I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle." And drive from state to state.
