They are arresting a man in camaflauge at the Pentagon right now, searching his black van, also there is some package or case in the road that they are staying clear of, bringing out the bomb sniffing dogs. Don't know what is going on, could be yet another false alarm. Gets so now when I hear "Live Special Report" said on TV, my heart freezes.

Now reporters are saying they "exploded" that case that was in the road. Detonated by police. Not sure if that means if it was a bomb or not???

Anyone else heard anything their news about this?

I just heard the story you were talking about. The bomb squad blew it up. They discovered there wasn't a bomb. Looks ok right now.

Now he has to do all that paperwork all over again!

Well at least they are on top of suspicious characters.

Thanks Tobbin. Whew! Glad it wasn't a bomb. Man I hope it wasn't some poor schmuck that just had his paperwork anhiliated LOL. Well, just goes to show how on edge we are right now, understandably so.

I dissagree. Yes, people are jumpy. Sometimes rightfully so, sometimes not. Personnaly, I think that we will see more "attacks" as soon as the US retiliates. Of course, those attacks might not only be centered on US soil. They will be all over the western world.

The bottom line is: people are jumpy because they are scared. That fear will not go away for a long, long time because people in North America (US and Canada) have been living in this little bubble of invunerability and security. Personnaly, I'm not scared. I've been telling myself for the last 5-6 years or so that I'd better accept the idea of living in a world filled with terrorism. Therefore, I wasn't "suprised" at the acts (in fact, not many people should have been) that we just witnessed. I was more suprised that terrorist managed to hijack 4 planes at the same time than them crashing in the WTC.

I think that this was only the begginning and that the rest will hit us. Maybe tomorow, maybe 2 months from now. Future terrorism acts might not be as big or has damaging but they sure will be present and will become a way of life for us.

I disagree

this is not an attack, it is a set up

so there will be no more attacks

Hmmm. Well, I hate to agree here, but considering how widespread and fanatical these terrorists are, I wouldn't be surprised if another attack happens (either BEFORE or AFTER) a retaliation
