| Second Counterterrorism Operation On I-20 |
| 2010-10-01 |
| ATLANTA -- Federal agents were out in force again on Thursday searching truck after truck along Interstate 20. The counterterrorism operation took place along I-20 Thursday morning and into the afternoon. The TSA said the operation is a form of highway homeland security and that federal air marshals are the lead federal agency, but other federal, state and local agencies were working the counterterrorism operation for the second time this week. A spokesman said K-9s were looking for explosives at a truck inspection site in Douglas County. Checks for radiation appeared to be under way too, Winne said. The big Customs and Border Protection truck-borne X-ray was also at the scene. |
