No explosives found at Seattle port - strike 3
Edited on Thu Aug-17-06 12:26 AM by LSK
"SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- Two suspicious cargo containers that prompted the evacuation of the Port of Seattle do not contain explosives or radioactive materials, port officials said Wednesday.

Bomb-sniffing dogs indicated that two containers from Pakistan could contain explosives.

Officials are still trying to determine exactly what is in the containers. It was not immediately clear why the dogs were mistaken."

1. The liquid plotters had no passports, no liquids, no airline tickets.

2. A lady went a little nuts on a plane today. Nothing happened.

3. Evacuate the Port of Seattle but find no bombs or explosives.

So, thats the 3rd "terror" event in a week that the media went nuts about and turned out to either be a non-threat or a non-immediate threat.

But meanwhile CNN trots out headlines like "Target USA".

8. Dogs sniff other dog's assholes, lick their own balls and eat
their own vomit. But we evacuate a whole areas when they sniff something? WTF?
