There are random searches of all trucks going into and through tunnels and bridges in NY. As I don't drive, I don't know how many dogs are there, but I see them on a fairly regular basis on the news.

How about > a pickup truck and the area where schoolbusses unload? Still have to gather the materials and any large order of fertilizer is investigated leaving a need for bombs using less traceable materials. The bottom line is still the same. To make a large bomb you either need materials that can (and are) watched and traced or you can use less traceable materials that need more sophistication. Point of fact is that it is easier for a terrorist to do a driveby or other attack than blow something up these days. The fact that they want something large is all that saves us. A group of terrorists who beheaded a person per night in a city would spread terror just as far as a bomb and more so if they did it right. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:166796 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
