Something is cooking

Something is cooking
: TV news just showed a jam getting into Newark airport as every car goes through a security check. Something is up.

: UPDATES: Italy bans flights over Rome, for fear of attacks.

: Hamburg reportedly heads off a car-bomb attack.

: “Republican Rep. Christopher Shays, however, said people ought to avoid places like Times Square, calling it irresponsible for officials to make people think they don’t need to take precautions.

‘Secretary Ridge says just do what you normally do,’ Shays said. ‘If normally you go to Times Square, I wouldn’t do what you normally do. I wouldn’t go into places when you’re packed and where if there was panic, a lot of injuries would take place.’”

    They closed one incoming lane of the tunnel. Seems like just new year’s orange alert prep.

    not surprising… On a side note, last night a helicopter was hovering about 50 feet over the water-sphere in the Union area, just sitting there. That was helicopter 3 of 5 that I saw on the trip from Exit 114 to Exit 150. Saw only one tonight, but that’s a typical number, around the Oranges. But I’d have to agree that something is up, to be honest.

    Somebody must have gotten an anonymous warning about another illicit tropical fish.

    and someone left luggage unattended yesterday at LI’s MacArthur airport, causing an evacuation, followed by every single car being checked on the way into the parking areas. Oh boy, we’re in for a doozy today.
