More fun at the port of Miami
2007-01-08
Since the charges were dropped against those guys in the truck, this surely has to be a coincidence.

MIAMI (Rooters) - A police bomb squad was sent to the Port of Miami to investigate a suspicious item being unloaded from a truck on Monday but police could not confirm television news reports that tests had detected C-4 explosives.

Scanning instruments detected an anomaly on a pallet being removed from a truck, and the Miami-Dade County Police bomb squad was sent to the busy cruise and cargo port for further investigation, spokesman Roy Rutland said.

#4  I was busy over the weekend, so I missed all the details (baby brother brought his fiance to meet us, wedding scheduled for June). But looking back through Drudge's archives, it looks like the first incident involved three permanent resident aliens from Deerborn, Michigan trying to make a delivery without the required daypass (whatever that is): two Iraqis and a Lebanese, to whit driver Amar Al Hadad, 28, and his passengers, Hussain Al Hadad, 24, and Hassan El Sayed, 20. The contents of the truck did not match the shipping mainifest, and also the driver tried to conceal the existence of his young passengers.

Incident #2 was a shipment of sprinkler parts that tested positive six times for the presence of explosives, but now supposedly this kind of plastic sprinkler part is known to give a false positive result. The sprinklers were destined for one of the cruise ships in port.

Sure sounds like testing the system to me.

Who is that a picture of, doc?

#3  orrect, NS. The truck incident was also testing, as the gas smell in NY may be.
And the bird deaths in Texas ?
Coordinated testing. Look for more of this.
