We’ve gone way too long without a bogus terror alert from BushCo. This time it’s a Transportation Security Administration bulletin describing what it calls “pre-attack security probes and ‘dry runs’ similar to dress rehearsals.” It’s all about the cheese in two cases…
Back in September 2006, the report says a search of a couple’s luggage at Baltimore’s airport turned up a block of processed cheese in a plastic bag taped to another plastic bag holding a cellular phone charger.
On June 4 in Milwaukee, another search of a bag produced more cheese, this time connected to a phony trigger/initiator, an electrical switch, batteries, and three tubes.
Why are they telling this now? Oh yes, it was somehow leaked to the media, as Dear Leader’s faltering military adventure has him bleating that the violence in Iraq is tied directly Osama — and that’s why the U.S. has to stay the course. Desperate times call for desperate suggestive “terror alerts.” Even the TSA had to ratchet down the suggestion that something specific was afoot.
“There is no credible, specific threat here,” TSA spokeswoman Ellen Howe said Tuesday. “Don’t panic. We do these things all the time.”
A statement posted late Tuesday by the TSA on its Web site confirmed that “a routine TSA intelligence bulletin relating to suspicious incidents at U.S. airports” had leaked to news organizations. The statement added, “During the past six months TSA has produced more than 90 unclassified bulletins of this nature on a wide variety of security-related subjects.”
…The bulletin said the passengers carrying the suspicious items seized since September included men and women and that initial investigation had not linked them with criminal or terrorist organizations. But it added that most of their explanations for carrying the items were suspicious and some were still under investigation.
