Domestic Terror? C-4 traces at Miami port
UPDATE: FALSE ALARM--bumped down.
The Port of Miami--where 3 Arabs were investigated over the weekend after the truck driver falsely said he was alone--is again shut down. Traces of C-4 "plasticine" explosives have been found.
Linda is blogging from about a mile from the port of Miami:
The box/device was being loaded onto a cruise ship scheduled for four day cruise starting later. The sensor caught it as having C4. They tested it five more times with positive reactions each test.If Linda is right about five tests, I'm thinking the false positive theory is out the window. I'm not sure just how sensitive these tests are to false positives, but five tests, all resulting in positives, seems kinda high.
I'm thinking that the judge might want to reconsider those dropped charges.
Developing.....hopefully this all turns out to be nothing.
UPDATE: Fox reporting bomb squad at Cruise Terminal H of the port, where Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas is docked. Also, flight restrictions over Port of Miami.
UPDATE: Greg Tinti from The Political Pit Bull has this link to live footage from the scene at Miami.
UPDATE: Whoa! Via Linda, again. Local TV reporting that a cargo pallet with large amount of C4 may have been found. Bomb squad has exploded it.
UPDATE: False alarm? That is what the media is saying now. Linda also confirming false alarm. There is no god but Allahpundit.....
