7/24/07 -- NBC/NBC Nightly News: A Transportation Security Administration (TSA) advisory issued a few days ago warns airport officials that terrorist may be staging a pre-attack security probes and "dry runs" in the United States. Lisa Myers, NBC News Senior Investigative Correspondent, explains that the advisory notes increasing regularity of suspicious items that resemble improvised explosives such as blocks of cheese that have a similar density to explosive material containing wires. TSA notes that the individuals have no known terrorist or criminal past but believes that the explanations were "questionable" and the number of incidents alarming.

It was a video game in California yesterday that stopped the entire airport. Those cheese stories were a joke. Do the cons that make this sheet up really think this is helping them?

I witnessed a dry run on a Cathay Pacific flight from LAX to Hong Kong.. when the plane was in descent to Hong Kong TWO OBVIOUS Middle Eastern looking men 19-24 yrs old stormed past the economy class into the Business / First Class area Flight attendants were oblivious to what was going on .. they were preoccupied. They never returned to COACH .. probably hiding in UNoccupied Bus Class & First Class seats - WHERE ARE THE SKY MARSHALS!!!???? CX wake up!

It that like, "Iraq may have weapons of mass destruction?"

The most harm that terrorists could do to the Bush administration is NOT attack. That's probably why the Bush administration is promoting that another attack is coming from the terrorists. The REAL terrorists have been running our White House.

They have been creative like this for a long time. I'm glad the public finally realizing this. So next time we take away your water or screen your flip flops, now you know why. Show TSA some respect, they found these items before they got on a plane, so someone is doing something right. They are still saving lives and yet people still complain. Yeah, it might be a inconvience, but would you rather have terrorist sneak something like cheese with an explosive inside onto your plane?

the bush administration should round up every single mouse in the area and waterboard each mouse until one of them starts to talk about the cheese and where it came from!

[F4O4U4R4S]

all right who cut the cheese? XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
