#1 Give a man a fish and he eats today. Teach a man to fish and he's got an excuse to scope out your nuclear powerplants.

#2 Teach a man to fish and he gets 1 fish in an hour. Teach a man to blow up a nuclear power plant and he gets 100,000 sashimi plates in minutes.

#5 Investigators found it odd that the men claimed to be Jew fishing. Even stranger was the fishing gear.

#7 The warm water outlets are excellent for fishing in Florida during the winter and the manatees hang out near them for the same reason.

Yes, but you have to keep your eyes open for the 500lb mosquitoes.

#12 #6 M4D: "Who knows. Who knows what goes on today? That's the reason I keep my doors locked," said Catherine Rinehimer of Salem Township.

WTF? As if your door will keep a nuke plant blowing up from harming you! Pretty interesting to find that they had NO fishing gear, wanted to fish near a nuke plant (according to article, they're from NYC, why are they heading west to fish? East River not good enough for ya?), etc. BTW, has anyone ever seen a Paki or Bangladeshi fishing? Not that I'm racist, but I go fishing quite a bit, and don't remember ever seeing any of these guys fishing!

#13 The water intake pipe is now listed in vol. 34 of "The Atlas of the Holiest Places in Islam (abridged)."

#14 There is fishing near the plant. There's a parkland right next to it, which has trout-stocked lakes. And the Susquehanna is a good fishing river. (And, BA, folks here in NYC fish in both the Hudson and the East River!)

Neither article mentions the lack of fishing licenses. So, the cops pick up 5 "fishermen" with no gear and no licenses and let them go?

One article says they stopped near the NJ/PA border. That means they were asking directions near the Delaware Water Gap. A national park where rangers certainly would be suspicious. As for Berwick, PA:

White Non-Hispanic (96.3%)
Hispanic (1.6%)
Black (0.9%)
Two or more races (0.6%)
Other race (0.6%)
American Indian (0.5%)

Five Arabs would draw just a teensy bit of attention. Especially in Pennsyltucky.

Also, if they were first noticed at the border, how come they weren't picked up until more than 100 miles later? Also, why drive 2 1/2 hours to PA when you could go fish in upstate NY, a lot closer?

This is worrisome, and I fear those cops were stupid.

It don't get no better than that!

#16 "this story is remind me of scene in star trek 4. that when checkov is asking cops where he can find the nuclear vesels."

Me too, mucky. That's because the Islamic guys are from the future! It's perfectly clear. Four guys from Bangaledesh and a Pakistani leader, pretending to fish? It's definitely an away team. And they've come for peace. I just hope the police didn't scare them away. Might make them never come back there again.

#17 The power plant that I worked at for a year had several ponds for the discharge of water that was too warm to be put back into the Ohio directly. Some of the guys that worked for me said that the fish were huge due to the temperature - note: JM Stuart Station was conventional so none of the fish had more than a single pair of eyes.
