Well, SFC Drake, at least "they" can't claim this news is slanted or a right-wing plot.

I would say they could be legitimate, but they could also be somebody taking advantage of the hype. In either case, I would say this is just one more reason to be especially vigilant, as the ISIL threat is real.

Good catch, by the way. Thanks for sharing this news with the RP community.

I really question the authenticity of this all. I learn a valuable lesson well working at a Nuclear Power Plant. It is near possible to take one by force. It would take a well armed infantry company to breach the security. But that is not the goal of terrorism. The goal is to terrorize and force others into complying. It would only take one guy with an AK to shoot at the front gate and wound the guards there to trigger a national and media storm.

I think that is what this equates too. I don't feel that this can be from a credible threat. If it were why would they say they are coming from the border when they would need it to stay open to bring in more terrorists? The last thing the drug cartels want is US to use the full force of the US Military to shut down the border. They would be hurting without the ability of moving people or drugs to the US.

Sounds like they have new toilet paper on Quantico, LOL. Make sure Muhammad's face is up when you wipe
