Happy Thanksgiving. "Exclusive: NY Rail Plot Details Based on 'Reliable' FBI Source," by Richard Esposito for ABC News, November 26 (thanks to Jeffrey Imm):
Uniformed police officers have flooded New York City's Penn Station, home to the Long Island Rail Road, following a warning from the FBI of a "plausible but unsubstantiated" threat of a terrorist bomb attack against the system during the holidays.Law enforcement officials tell ABCNews.com, the plot involved a "Madrid-like attack," a reference to the synchronized bombing of the commuter rail system in Spain in March 2004 that killed 191 people.
Following the public release of the warning by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, officials in Washington made efforts to dampen public concern.
"There is nothing concrete to suggest this plot ever went beyond the aspirational or talking stage," said a U.S. official familiar with the intelligence that led to the warning.
Law enforcement officials told ABCNews.com the information was based on an FBI source who has proved "reliable and knowledgeable in the past."
Officials told ABCNews.com unspecified new information in the last 48 hours led to the public warning "out of an abundance of caution."
Congressman Peter King (R-NY), the top Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, told the Associated Press "authorities have very real specifics as to who it is and where the conversation took place and who conducted it."...

More good news for Thanksgiving.
The Mpls-St Paul Airport is gonna put a Houlihans in the main terminal space just outside the security bubble, so friends and family can hang out with the traveller before he or she goes through the x-ray machine operated by Somali security personnel. These machines are there to make sure that a radical Norwegian extremist Lutheran grandmother doesn't sneak a bomb aboard her airplane.

I plan to sit at the bar in this new Houlihans drinking beer and doing shots. Burping through my sudsy white beer moustache, I'll stare deep into the eyes of nearby angry Moslem security guards (put there to protect us from angry Moslem activists) and laugh derisively.
I'm sorry, did I just say angry Moslems? Sorry for the redundancy.

Happy Thanksgiving, Ahmed.

Of course all legit warnings by law enforcement shall be accompanied by a particular shrilling sound, one resembling the "Bush is trying to stir some crap before jetting into the sunset" party line which still parades the fallacy that it's all the exclusive product of this administration.
The domain of Darwin award candidates.

The subway needs a makeover anyway; at least they can save some money on the demolition effort.

I guess any attack will have been co-ordinated from Islamberg.
Haven't you Americans learnt anything from your beastings on 9/11?
Why are jihadist training camps still in existence post 9/11?
Why is CAIR spreading Sharia?
Why are the Islamic Thinkers parading up and down NYC streets advocating Sharia?

Undaunted, my favorite part of your 'bomb dynamics' post:
Still others have been hidden under burkas , worn by both men and women of the ethnic group which wears burkas.
