We had quite a bit of police activity here in my little town of Elwood, IL, this morn. It seems some idiot decided to put a piece of paper on the fence claiming that there was a bomb in the railyard. FBI, Homeland Security, US Customs, the Nat'l Guard, state police, county police, and BNSF police came running through the town early this morn.

As the railyard here is pretty big, they shut it down for about 5 or 6 hours when they started investigating. I'll bet it was just some dumba$$ that didn't want to work this weekend. We'll see.

You heard it here first. :tongue:

Sorry to hear that Sully! ... ohwell

When I lived in London?

There were constantly warranted bomb scares ...

If ya leave ANYTHING unattended there ...

ESP. in the tube station???

They shut 'er down and bring in the bomb squad.

Often, just somethin' forgotton.

I was so versed in terrorism by the time 9/11 reared its head, sadly!!!
