Holiday Travel Warning: Beware of ‘Thermos’ Terrorists

WASHINGTON (AP) — An administration official says the Homeland Security Department is alerting air carriers to a potential terror tactic involving insulated beverage containers like thermoses.

The official stresses that there is no intelligence about an active terror plot. The official spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security matters.

Travelers may notice that airport screeners are taking a closer look at empty insulated containers, but the official said authorities have no information about a specific threat involving the items.

The Homeland Security Department regularly alerts law enforcement about evolving terror tactics as counterterrorism officials learn about them through intelligence chatter.

    These people need to sit down.

    Listen! “Another nudge?“ ”What do we do?” If you’d all stop flying – shut down the airlines and the airports, and the TSA along with them – you’d stop this stupidity immediately! Polls say that most people are DRIVING to their destinations this Christmas season, but that isn’t enough! Problem is, only a few of us are ready and willing to do what is necessary. The rest of us are all talk and no action – protesting loudly until they have to get to grandma’s for the holidays, and then saying (if under their breath) “I have no choice! It’s the (fastest – cheapest – only – add YOUR excuse here) to get where I’m going.”

    If you haven’t made the choice to stop this nonsense by telling TSA and the airlines where to stick it, stop complaining about “what do we do???” You ain’t doing it!

    Come on people there are soooooo many easier ways to destroy planes and buildings. How about a 5 pound bag of flour and a match? how about an MRE heater and a glass bottle. Won’t do a lot of damage, but will cause a panic. Come on people wake up! Anything and everything around you can harm or kill you if used for that purpose. Just stay vigilant and aware of your surroundings, If something doesn‘t feel right it probably isn’t.

    The following happened on Flight 297 from Atlanta to Houston on 17 Nov 2010.

    I was in 1st class coming home. 11 Muslim men got on the plane in full attire. 2 sat in 1st class and the rest peppered themselves throughout the plane all the way to the back. As the plane taxied to the runway the stewardesses gave the safety spiel we are all so familiar with. At that time, one of the men got on his cell and called one of his companions in the back and proceeded to talk on the phone in Arabic very loudly and very aggressively. This took the 1st stewardess out of the picture for she repeatedly told the man that cell phones were not permitted at the time. He ignored her as if she was not there.

    The 2nd man who answered the phone did the same and this took out the 2nd stewardess. In the back of the plane at this time, 2 younger Muslims, one in the back aisle, and one in front of him, window, beganto show footage of a porno they had taped the night before, and werevery loud about it. Now – they are only permitted to do this prior to Jihad.
    The 3rd stewardess informed them that they were not to have electronic devices on at this time. To which one of the men said “shut up infidel dog!” She went to take the camcorder and he began to scream in her face in Arabic. At that exact moment, all 11 of them got up and started to walk the cabin.
    This is where I had had enough! I got up and started to the back where I heard a voice behind me from another Texan twice my size say “I got your back.“ I grabbed the man who had been on the phone by the arm and said ”you WILL go sit down or you Will be thrown from this plane!“ As I ”led” him around me to take his seat, the fellow Texan grabbed him by the back of his neck and his waist and headed out with him. I then grabbed the 2nd man and said, “You WILL do the same!” As I escorted him forward the plane doors open and 3 TSA agents and 4 police officers entered. Me and my new Texan friend were told to cease and desist for they had this under control.. I was happy to oblige actually. There was some commotion in the back, but within moments, all11 were escorted off the plane. They then unloaded their luggage.
    We talked about the occurrence and were in disbelief that it had happen, when suddenly, the door open again and on walked all 11!! Stone faced, eyes front and robotic (the only way I can describe it). The stewardess from the back had been in tears and when she saw this, she was having NONE of it! Being that I was up front, I heard and saw the whole ordeal.
    She told the TSA agent there was NO WAY she was staying on the plane with these men. The agent told her they had searched them and were going to go through their luggage with a fine tooth comb and that they were allowed to proceed to Houston. The captain and co-captain came out and told the agent “we and our crew will not fly this plane!” After a word or two, the entire crew, luggage in tow, left the plane. 5 minutes later, the cabin door opened again and a whole new crew walked on.

    Again…this is where I had had enough!!! I got up and asked “What the hell is going on!?!?” I was told to take my seat. They were sorry for the delay and I would be home shortly. I said “I’m getting off this plane”. The stewardess sternly told me that she could not allow me to get off. (now I’m mad!) I said “I am a grown man who bought this ticket, who’s time is mine with a family at home and I am going through that door, or I’m going through that door with you under my arm!! But I am going through that door!!“ And I heard a voice behind me say ”so am I”. Then everyone behind us started to get up andsay the same.
    Within 2 minutes, I was walking off that plane where I was met with more agents who asked me to write a statement. I had 5 hours to kill at this point so why the hell not. Due to the amount of people who got off that flight, it was cancelled. I was supposed to be in Houston at 6pm. I got here at 12:30am.

    Look up the date. Flight 297 Atlanta to Houston. If this wasn’t a dry run, I don’t know what one is. The terrorists wanted to see how TSA would handle it, how the crew would handle it, and how the passengers would handle it.

      Preventable medical mistakes and infections are responsible for about 200,000 deaths in the U.S. each year, according to an investigation by the Hearst media corporation. The report comes 10 years after the Institute of Medicine’s “To Err Is Human” analysis, which found that 44,000 to 98,000 people were dying annually due to these errors and called for the medical community and government to cut that number in half by 2004.

      this is nothing more than “government employment opportunities” backed by “union thuggery” directly aimed at the “free market” and “private competition” ,and certainly an attack on the future of trade in technologies, which is about all America has left to make any money from.

      The more they spend on “protection”, the less money there is to “pay” everyone…….and pretty soon, when the government says “whoops, no more handouts cause we’ve got no money of any value”, well, you can see just how protected you will be!

      Many foolish kings built fortresses and castles to hide themselves away from dangerous men in dangerous times………but those dangerous men just attacked the supply lines and starved the kings out in surrender anyway! And who ends up with the fortress or castle? The ENEMY DOES!

      Take a note and a lesson from those who were never defeated or conquered, and you’ll win the war.

The Fort Hood massacre was a success, the Christmas bomber, and the Times Square bomber were not failures, they were successful attacks foiled by incompetentence.

      Seriously? Since they didn’t spell it out, heres the “danger”…

      Insulated thermos bottles have a glass or steel interior liner… and vacuum space or foam separates the interior from the outside walls. That space is not visually inspect-able, and if filled with a low density explosive, you would not see it easily on X-Ray.

      I got no problem with them inspecting potential items that could house explosives… What I DO HAVE A MAJOR problem with is stupid pieholes who…. “SPEAKING ON A CONDITION OF ANONYMITY”: (Because he not authorized to speak….)

      Don’t they *govn’t* wonder why Americans have a trust deficit with them? Not only are they perusing a path that 80% of Americans don’t agree with, they CAN”T EVEN KEEP THEIR MOUTH SHUT to the media!!!!

      So now somewhere in Paka-hudu-desmo-crackistan a little muslim bomb make is figuring out how to pack his explosive into the tubes of strollers and wheelchairs… IT NEVER ENDS when all we do is play defense and CATER to their wishes and placate what they are offended by!

      Stop looking at EVERY bottle and focus on the Thermos in the hands of a MUSLIM, coming from the UK, who is SHAVED BARE, and trying to “appear normal”….

Upon detonation, it forms a large, noxious gas cloud sending unaware passengers into sinus convulsions and nasal distress, literally GAGGING them. Some bombs have very loud explosions, and other forms have no explosion at all, just the stinky GAS RELEASE. Beware people! :-) Have a very Merry Christmas everybody that isn’t offended by me saying it!

      They will soon be looking up our backsides with flashlights. I will never fly again unless it is an extreme emergency. And who the hell needs to go to a foreign country unless it’s to go fight there anyway? Sorry Hawaii, i won’t be visiting…

      They stole this idea from the pilot (“Sand Kings”) of the cable show Outer Limits, with Jeff Bridges.

      Sure do. They’ve been letting us know for awhile, hey?
      History is full of examples.

      Do you realize how many hundreds of billions could be saved, and millions of wasted hours of incovenience if we did one simple inexpensive thing? What is that one thing? It’s so simple it will blow your mind. Simply create 2 lines at the airport. One for us, and one for Muslims who will be screened in the same way passengers are screened in Israel. Problem solved.

      @Silverracer

      False flags indeed, jumping up across the land; that they are occuring is just one more example of what the administration will do to provoke one american citizen to over react and then slam, they have the need to crack down for ‘national security interests.’

      I wonder what Napoletano and her KGB-TSA recruits will warn of next – “Danger, breathing is now to be banned on airplanes along with all clothing!!!”

      Chet’s nuts resting in a TSA HAND
      Agent Jack’s hand slipping in your hose
      Arms above your head, look straight ahead
      You’re undressed like a L.A. ‘HO’

      Everybody Knows a imam and his underwear
      Helped to make the TSA right

      Tiny Tots scream: “dont touch me there”
      Will find it hard to sleep tonight

      They know that Janet’s overpaid
      she’s got trains and buses – goodies on the way

      and every mother’s child is gonna cry
      it would be easier to make a reindeer fly

      So I’m offering this simple phrase
      To kids from one to ninety-two
      Although it’s been said many times, many ways
      Profile muslims, not you

      Question – if there has not been some intelligence on this – then why are they suddenly going to start looking as thermos? Did they just wake up one day and decide to add something else to the list of things to bug travelers about? They had to have gotten some information that this could be a possible threat – and if that’s true, why can’t they just come out and be honest about it? http://maboulette.wordpress.com

      Yes! This is such unbelievable crap…!! Couldn‘t they’ve come up with a better excuse to take away the attention from the nude-lude scanners and junk-touching!!! And how many travelers would carry on a thermos when you can’t bring liquids through!! And the media goes right along…. sickening!

      “to control our lives”

      Kind of like how militant conservatives want to control the lives of gays?

      Say what you want about progressive radicals… at least they don‘t want to put a GPS on everyone’s penis.

      Well, at least my CANDY-GRAM will get through. … Doh!

      sheriff BART [disguised as bellcap]: “Candygram for Mongo! Candygram for Mongo!”
      MONGO: “Me Mongo.”
      sheriff BART: “Sign, please.”
      [Mongo destroys pad signing it]
      sheriff BART [yanks back what's left, gives candy box]: “Thank you.”
      [Bart walks out with fingers in his ears]
      MONGO: “Mongo like candy.”
      [Mongo opens box] *BOOM*

      “Black radicals”? They look suspiciously like black MUSLIMS, amigo!

      boss TAGGERT: “Now if that don’t beat all. Here we take the good time and trouble to slaughter every last Indian in the West, and for what? So we can appoint a sheriff that’s blacker than any Indian. I am depressed.”
      cowboy LYLE: “Excuse me, Mr. Taggart, sir. But I sure do hate to see you like this. What if me and the boys was to shoot that nígger dead? Would that pep you up some?”
      boss TAGGERT: “It might.”
