Fox News says its 19 briefcase bombs.

 

Nobody else has said that. Kinda creepy.

CNN is connecting it to a raid in Baghdad yesterday.

Possibly 19 IEDs planned for the Subway system.

Sounds like the urban legends that have too many specific details in them, doesn't it?

 

What are the chances this story would have broke within minutes before or after (depending on the outlet) the latest PlameGate bombshell?

 

The threat of a new global radical caliphate didn't cause much of a distraction today, so maybe some unverified information about some, no, I mean a few, no. . . exactly 19 suitcase bombs on the NY subway will.

While the police department is taking the threat seriously, it is also urging the public not to be alarmed because – while the source is credible – the information has not been verified.

 

However, CNN's Jeanne Meserve just said Homeland Security is not aware of any credible or specific threat against NYC Transit. Kelli Arena basically said the same thing about the FBI.

The key is to be just vague enough to be able to claim credit for telling us, but not to be to specific as to upset people. These warnings are worthless in general. I see the little things they have done in Chicago to "protect" public transit, and believe me, it would only take a halfhearted effort to kill a lot of people. I fully expect something like this to happen, sooner than later, and the same crap fingerpointing to get done as usual.
