Officials Worry NY Terror Plot 'Still Alive' as Case Broadens

then return to act on their training. I am not saying that the sky is falling. I do have a healthy respect for the bugger eaters that I work around every day. FBI and NYPD are jumping through hoops right now trying to find the explosives while maintaining survailance on 20+ others BGs that they know of. Remember, we have to be right 100% of the time, they only gotta be right once. To ignore this which has direct links to OBL and AQ is like a sheep going BAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

They’re not scaring me out of my lower level 40 yard line seats. Silly terrorists, threats are for kids.

i heard that Ray Lewis rounded up 8 Taliban this week bringing his total to 56. he’s in NY right now protecting the civilians until game time sunday.

seriously, at least in B-more, a “terrorist” would stick out like a friggin billboard within a mile of the stadium. interesting, after going to a thousand games you get a feel for who goes to football games. i can pick a first timer out a mile away.

Theres nothing you can do but live your life normally and do good whenever you’re able to. Obviously if you get a threat you do what you can and report it, but the second you start being afraid of threats you can’t control, and change your life, then the terrorists win.

As William Wallace so eloquently put it:
THEY MAY TAKE OUR LIVES, BUT THEY’LL NEVER TAKE OUR FREEDOM!!

…for a terrorist group to hit.

Security is tight. LOTS of undercover work goes on at games in addition to the uniformed individuals, stadium security and cameras + detection equipment.

The biggest hurdle is you are surrounded by 75,000 drunk, raving football fans whose reaction is difficult to predict given the circumstances.

The attraction though is that you don’t need a heavy weapon or large amount of explosives to inflict an inordinate number of casualties and psychological trauma.

The inital attack would likely need to be limited due to the constraints of getting ordinance into the facility and would simply be the catalyst for the real intention which would be the secondary effect of the panic and the stampede of the crowd as they try and flee the stadium.

The role of law enforcement in maintaining order would be paramount to minimizing the intended consequences.

The more insidious plan would be a biological or chemical attack designed to use the mass concentration of people for impact or as vectors for a bioweapon.

This is unlikely though, as historically, although we make a big deal of the potential of these attacks, terrorists group have failed to use these weapons in an effective manner (Tokyo subway attacks for example) and lack the sophistication to effectively maintain, deliver and disperse these weapons in sufficient quantity or lethality.

Not that they couldn’t pull it off, but they are unlikely to try given the short history of failed attempts due to technical issues, primarily. Until they feel confident that they have oversome the technical hurdles, they will likely stick to shock value, conventional methods.

Subway attack? Sure, that’s doable.

Stadium? High value but High possibility of failure.

In short? Drive to the game!

That guy was arrested for driving without a license and then’bailed out’. subsequently they got him to detonate a fake bomb. if this does not smell duress or undue influence then what will. i wonder where the new york guy got the stolen credit card from to go shopping for peroxides? probably they was something they had on this guy. with the patriot act coming for renewal these things appear triggered.

Was not to say “Dont go to the game” of any other doom and gloom. Some of the people here on MCM know that I am typing this from the other side of the globe. I have spent the last 5 years dealing with not so nice folks and suicide vest bombs and car bombs are a fact of life here.

TexansForever- Your about 80% right but the 20% that you are wrong is what will bite you in the ass.

Guys just be vigilant if you are at the game. If you see something odd bring it up to security. I would be aware of overly bulky clothing, people looking nervous or acting like their heads are on a ratchet, prayer beads, and back packs that dont belong. Dont assume that because they do not have a “Middle Eastern appearance” that they are not a bad guy. Google pics of the cell that was busted in NC this summer. White, Black, Brown or Yellow, if some one looks fishy, find a cop.

With out getting into enemy tactics here, For gods sake if something does happen, STAY WHERE YOU ARE AT. Do not try and run out the gate. Just because there is a boom dont mean that there is not an even bigger one or two waiting right outside a choke point like a screening area or gate.

Not trying to turn this into a Cpt. Tactical post, just want y’all to be aware of the possible threat and exorcise due vigilance.

Did you use an arabic translator online for that?

Hahaha.

The word it used for fan, “marooha”, is actually a “Fan” as in ceiling fan.

And where I think you were trying to say “Speaks” it used “Yetehadith”, which is really more like a speech, or an occurence. That one is more problematic.

Good stuff though.
