Homeland Security questions threat to stadiums

10/18/06

A website threat is claiming that 7 NFL football stadiums will be hit with radiological dirty bombs this weekend. But, the Federal Government is expressing doubts about the threat.

It was posted October 12th as part of an ongoing internet conversation titled "New Attack on America Be Afraid". It mentioned stadiums like Giants Stadium in New Jersey, and stadiums in Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Cleveland and Houston, where games are scheduled to be held this weekend. Buffalo hosts New England on Sunday, but Ralph Wilson Stadium was not mentioned. Homeland security is alerting authorities and stadium owners in those cities as well as the NFL, but said the threat was being viewed with strong skepticism. The FBI is also expressing doubts over the authenticity of the threat.

Just like the 14 year old threat to the President, this was an OBVIOUSLY BS threat on the internet, right? So no reason to investigate. Right?

Go Pats!

Why? Did he have one?

Well he'd usually be the first one to post this stuff.

Edit: Marden: Is it that time of the month? You've been pissy lately, and your ad hominems haven't had the ounce of cleverness they usually contain.

Wow, love the graphic. Reminds me of the good old days, before the '04 elections, when the security scares were coming fast & furious.
