i am the child of the wasteland....a land of haunted houses and monsters i call father. dark talents run in the family, but i shatter the glass to let the moonlight in, not to destroy something fragile for the feeling of breaking beneath my fists. all i can do is scream, crawl out, and keep screaming. but i can hold the sparrow, mend its wing... i am the spring rain and the hurricane... the monsters cower now, not me, not you. *xn*

These "threats" (read below) could be anyone, literally. they'll be jumping people left and right because this list is so vague in some spots.. i like the "sketching materials" one myself.. that you'll be freaking out over even an airplane flying overhead and an SUV driving by or a bike messenger or a guy shining shoes or some poor homeless guy. Maybe some of these things will sound strange in another town but in NYC this list bascially describes much of what goes on every second of the day on the streets. So if you are an artist drawing in the park don't stand too long in one place, don't take off your jacket and then your sweater if you feel hot- it might look like you have multiple sets of clothing- and god forbid do not fall in love with some military security guy and try to catch his attention by looking at him, and then walkng away with two or three of your friends... yikes!

come and get me big boy!

FBI: How al Qaeda checks out sites

Terry Frieden CNN Washington Bureau

The FBI sent to state and local law enforcement officials Wednesday an "intelligence bulletin" designed to help police detect possible surveillance activities by al Qaeda-affiliated operatives.

The FBI told police to remain alert to several possible indicators of al Qaeda surveillance and report any suspicious activity to the nearest Joint Terrorism Task Force.

The indicators included:

- Unusual or prolonged interest in security measures or personnel, entry points and access controls, or perimeter barriers such as fences or walls

- Unusual behavior such as staring or quickly looking away from personnel or vehicles entering or leaving designated facilities or parking areas

- Observation of security reaction drills or procedures

- Increased anonymous telephone or e-mail threats to facilities in conjunction with suspected surveillance incidents, indicating possible surveillance of threat reaction procedures

- Foot surveillance involving two or three people working together

- Mobile surveillance using bicycles, scooters, motorcycles, cars, trucks, sport utility vehicles, boats, or small aircraft

- Prolonged static surveillance using operatives disguised as panhandlers, demonstrators, shoe shiners, food or flower vendors, news agents, or street sweepers not previously seen in the area

- Discreet use of still cameras, video recorders or note-taking at non-tourist locations

- Use of multiple sets of clothing, identifications, or the use of sketching materials

- Questioning of security or facility personnel

The FBI sent the information on a routine basis Wednesday through law enforcement channels. It said the information was not prompted by any specific event or intelligence.

FBI headquarters usually sends such bulletins, which reflect the general concerns of top FBI and counterterrorism officials in Washington, to police agencies on a weekly basis.
