I don't believe that's really true Joe. I can't prove it, but some of the classes I had to take in college discussed the use of satellite images for geological surveying - but we were also shown how they track methamphedamine(sp?) production and illegal immigrants who try to sneak in. Surely something this extreme wouldn't go unchecked. Besides, the Texas border is much easier to track than the Florida border. I would view the Florida coast as a much harder area to control because of the size and proximity to places like Cuba and Haiti. Please, this is not a "generalization" of nationalities, I know very good people from both countries. I just get the feeling that these stories were meant to spread fear. Well, I have faith in my country to protect me. I also pay taxes for it, and I'm sure the people protecting us don't want us to get blown up any more than we do since they'd be out of a job. It's not good press for something like that to happen on your watch. LOL
FWIW, some specific problems with the original article...
Who cares if uranium and plutonium are kept separate? There's no particular reason they need to be kept apart. Really, what I'm trying to say is neither is safe on their own.
The bunkers. We've had bunkers since at least the fifties. I'm sure some other version has existed since about 1775. One decommisioned bunker in western Maryland now functions as a hotel resort and golf course.
Only then, bin Laden has said, would the crimes committed by America on the Arab and Muslim world be avenged.
I was thinking more in terms of the use of explosives in London, Madrid and Iraq. Actually, that's an interesting point--many are worried that the emphasis on hijacking after 9/11 has diverted attention from public transport.
The reason I mentioned this is to suggest that there is more security on air transport that ground is that the potential for destruction is greater with an aircraft. Could you imagine the cost of putting a sky marshall (train marshall? Would he then work out of a marshalling yard?) on most of the trains and buses in NA?
I.... I can't prove it, but some of the classes I had to take in college discussed the use of satellite images for geological surveying - but we were also shown how they track methamphedamine(sp?) ......
People that don't believe this can/will happen is that they don't realize lead is sheilding these weapons from detection. These terrorists are not stupid - and they are on a mission from their god...
I posted this article not to spread fear - not at all, but to show the real possibility exists. And don't think they would not use these weapons on us.
It's not good press for something like that to happen on your watch. LOL
