I never mentioned Muslims. It would seem you're profiling again. Racist.

It is not profiling when that is exactly what you meant.

Really? So now you're a mind reader? Even you know Muslims pose the biggest terrorist threat to this country and you automatically assumed so in your post. BTW, since you mentioned Muslims, would you care to mention any other groups that might attack us?

No. I am not a mind reader, just a reader of your posts thus it isn't difficult to see who you were talking about. As for other groups, sure. Tea partiers.

To have a problem with the tea partiers is to have a problem with the US Constitution which, knowing you, isn't much of a stretch.

Agree 100%... but the myth has made the rounds. My point was, the possibility of a suitcase bomb (which is actualy not really limited to something that would fit in a traditional suitcase... it merely means a "portable" bomb) has been around for a long time. It would be foolish to think that the idea hadn't crossed the bad guys minds... which means we should have been preparing at LEAST on paper for the possibility of a domestic attack not requiring an ICBM.

About sixteen hours. That depends on certain interactions [1].
