USA Issues World Wide Travel Alert

BBC News - US in worldwide travel alert after al-Qaeda threat

 

[Larry L.]

Amazing, isn't it. THIS only a few months after Obama declared Al-Qaeda was all but destroyed.

And, of course, if we shut said embassies on Sunday, there's NO WAY Al-Qaeda could launch their attacks on MONDAY, is there.

Sheeeeze... :snore:

Al Qaida is best likened to the Hydra.
This warning is also issued here with possibly the highest risk being surely this weekend.
I cannot imagine what the queues will be like at the airports today - I went do Paris on 16th July and it was 1 hr 20 minutes just to get through security and I was 'fast tracked'. A thirty minute flight became a four hour ordeal and I subsequently missed my connection on the TGV from CDG to Le Mans.

Just do it like the Americans. Simply tick "No" on the ESTA form where it asks whether you´re a terrorist and then proceed to the queue for non-terrorists after arrival.
Worked for me recently at SFO Airport when been to the Bay Area.

Safe queueing,

Marcus

Verdamnt! Der old 'Blitzenkriegeheimenqueue' tactic!!

I thought this only worked at the Flughafen Ardennes, at least that's what my old travel agent friend Barry Schlieffen told me the other day.

I was going to use it for Spa.....:shrug:

Another half a job done by a government. They have strimmed all the weeds off and left the roots in . If that was a paid contract to rid the world of Al Qaida terrorist`s someone would be getting sued . The losers. Joe public again.

You speak of Government as if it has nothing to do with you. Democratically speaking it's "US" not "THEM."

We (the people) surely always get both the Government and the Police force we deserve?

Sorry kieth it had completely slipped my mind that when I popped that card in the box at the polling station we got what we wanted in government:lipsrsealed:

Deserved Bob. What we Deserve.

Wanted and Deserved are two completely different animals in my book.

One day when there is more oxygen and the humidity falls below 70% (Oh happy day) I will expound further.

It is a theory of course, but one which I feel deserves debate.

Regretfully today, people seem to be too busy casting blame for things they feel that they have little or no control over, when the reverse is patently true. This leaves little time to examine real world solutions. And then, there's the kids to be picked up from school an hour in the gym and you STILL haven't put those damned shelves up!
