US intelligence officials feared that al Qaeda terrorists in Yemen were plotting to attack the United States and actually intercepted what they now believe were "dry run" shipments to Chicago in mid-September, according to several people briefed on the plot and a senior US official.

U.S. Feared Mail Bomb Plot Was Coming; Saw September 'Dry Run' - ABC News

Someone on a different thread showed that today was actually the last day for the DC-9-30 as it flew from DTW to Orlando Sanford.

Can someone photo shop a picture of a DC-9 and add a couple of smart bombs on it please? I think it might need a receptacle for air refueling, too. I'll put it on my "dash." Thanks.

Awwh. APC could have chipped in an bought one. I took one down a few months ago and the guy said they got them for the cheap.

[QUOTE=Splash;894148]I am.

Probably because they're attracted by my serenity while going through screening.

I do! I enjoy polishing it on layovers.



Splash,

Carl already mentioned it buy I do owe you a big touche' for the above - Well said! :D

Guys on another subject I had a Halloween Layover in the Big Easy - the show was on in force. Where else can you see religious protesters with signs and bullhorns telling us we are going to hell being confronted by homosexual counter protesters in nothing but jockstraps and sneakers?

OK, I have seen that at other places too, but it gets better. Then the King of England stops by to check things out and he is confronted by CAPT America (shield and all) and then the whole melee is pushed off the street by the NOPD - not because they want to stop it, but because they have to clear the street for the Zombie parade about to come by.

Classic Bourbon Street. And this is all prior to 8PM! I don't want to guess what happened later.

Oh yeah, the Steelers fans were out in force also.

Scoop :)

The Rams receiving team is decimated. They may pick him up, as they desperately need a veteran receiver.

That would be an interesting sight to see...

I changed my mind. The picture is no longer needed.

the same goes for the Browns.

Browns need a QB. All they have is some nancy with a glass jaw and shoulder named after a baby horse. :D

I keed Super, just had to pull your chain!
