On very small scale, "the war on 'terror'" [can you have a war on something innocuous, v. a fixed thing...curiouser and curiouser] as this happens occasionally, but I thought i'd post the Bomb threat that stopped a Ferry run.

EDMONDS, Wash. -- A note threatening a bomb on a state ferry at Edmonds has shut down the Edmonds-Kingston route, ferry officials said. Officials said ferry workers found a note in the car deck restroom on the ferry Spokane and evacuated everyone. They are evacuating all vehicles. The Washington State Patrol is at the scene with a full bomb squad response, including a robot and a bomb-sniffing dog. Washington State Ferries said the route was closed as of 9:28 a.m. The ferry Puyallup was diverted to Seattle.
Just keeping Seattle awake, keep that paranoia nearby [Republican tactics of misdirection through fear] ...not nice to say, but there is truth in their philosophy. One day we'll all become complacent re: Bush et al's continuing game, and end up feeling like they're "crying wolf" until someone gets hurt again. Stooopid scare tactics used amongst their slander, "talking points" and their "bait and switch" speaches simple (yet dangerous) misdirection in hopes of gaining votes v. fear and slander - working it working it.... Color me jaded today
Peace!
