FBI warning coded as "Skyfall"

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unk's Wild Wild West : One Thread

http://www.fbi.gov/pressrel/pressrel01/skyfall.htm For Immediate Release October 11, 2001 Washington D.C. FBI National Press Office

Certain information, while not specific as to target, gives the government reason to believe that there may be additional terrorist attacks within the United States and against U.S. interests overseas over the next several days. The FBI has again alerted all local law enforcement to be on the highest alert and we call on all people to immediately notify the FBI and local law enforcement of any unusual or suspicious activity.

The code name "Skyfall" on this warning would seem to imply that the threat is likely to be an anthrax dusting. The government isn't telling us the specific nature or area of the threat, basically because there is nothing they can do to protect us from it.

Since we can't even do that, it must be something else. You evidently have no technical experience in the area. The word "moron" comes to mind.

DON'T "seal up your house". Particularly don't seal up your house with a fire of any kind inside, such as a stove or lantern.

Hey Mr. Knowitall Z, you're full of shit. Anthrax can be dropped out of a bag from a small plane, you don't even need a cropduster to do it. Sounds like you've been getting your info from the gubmint, and you are at least as full of shit as they are!

LMAO!

"You evidently have no technical experience in the area."

Yes, of course Z knows how to do this, he's got years of experience. In addition to fighting forest fires, climbing mountains, meeting with diplomats, his microbiology career, researching global warming, and being an expert genius knowitall on everything, he has also DONE EVERYTHING!! Including when he did that stint as a terrorist with Al Qaeda for 5 years in Afghanistan!

BWAAAAHAHAAAAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

Thanks, Z ;)

Do the words "Chicken Little" mean anything to you, and suggest that an FBI webmaster may have a twisted sense of humor?

"an FBI webmaster may have a twisted sense of humor?"

The Drudge Report has published the warning with the word "Skyfall" in a huge bold headline. I hardly find it humorous. If this is someone at the FBI's idea of a joke, they should be fired immediately.

Not everything, but you forgot the years that I spent as a consultant to companies who worked on defense against biological and chemical weapons. You will need to add those the next time.

Hee, hee, hee. Some people do things and others post crap on the web. Nothing you can say will make that different. Now, how do you do this properly. Figure it out yourself if you can. Not something that I will post.

Best Wishes ;<)))

Of course Z! I bet you have also done extensive research on the best way to bring down the Twin Towers, and you knew that they would fly commercial airliners into them. That's why you were stranded at an airport the day after!!

ROTFLMAO!!

-- you kill me (mr. @ know. it all!), October 11, 2001.



Well, it could be bats with bombs (hey, WE thought it was a dandy idea during WWII!) or maybe balloons with biologicals. It doesn't have to be anything high-tech at all.

Don't you just love to screw around with the high school students and the Olsonites.

Thinking,

Actually it wasn't that crazy an idea. Mexican freetail bats can carry 5 times their weight which figured out to about 4 ounces of incendary including timer. Dropped in daytime they'd hide in the eaves of largely wooden Japanese buildings untill poof. Early war thought at a time when we just wanted to hit somebody with something.

NPR reported that it was the second time this week that a "highest" level alert was asked for. It may be editorial comment by the webmaster that should actually have "boy who cried wolf" overtones instead. Or do you think that Drudge is some wise, perceptive creature, whose typography speaks volumes?
