How long do we give the NYC threat?

So, how many days do we allow the terror threat to stay in the headlines?

How many more times will we do this?

According to Miami Herald/local NPR station, Broward County has increased security of their train system. Let me just say, of all the places to try a create mass casualties in South Florida, the Tri-Rail is NOT one...

This has the markings of a typical hoax story.

Anonymous source #1 from a Miami Herald (free sub req.) article:

The threat involved the possibility terrorists would pack a baby stroller with explosives, among other potential subway bombing methods


Packing baby strollers with explosives? C'mon, people!

In early October 2004, a foreboding email warned that, "On Black Friday (November 26) 4 Long Island Malls are supposed to be hit simultaneously with chemical weapons." (link)

This is ridiculous. Is it set to coordinate with Ramadan? As Michelle Malkin's cronies believe, there will be a 'Great Ramadan Offensive.'

I may run a terrible risk of being very tragically wrong.. but I say 48 hours of police activity and no more press...

At least a press release from Homeland Security would be nice...


Instead, we should focus on the guy in Oklahoma who may/may not have committed suicide by bombing who may/may not have attended (or at least driven by) a mosque?
