#2 Pakistani flights to U.S. banned but sale of advanced F16's continues to make headway.

#3 A decent start, but let's make it permanent, and extend the ban to flights from Cairo, Beirut, Riyadh, et al, and London, Frankfurt, and Paris as necessary.

Of course, I'm fairly certain that won't happen. The Homeland Security folks are more interested in keeping us "safe" by doing things like having my 3-year old daughter remove her shoes to clear security, as happened yesterday in the Portland airport, and insisting we fly liquid-and-gel-free.

Fools.

#4 Good. Make this permanent. Next, ban all Pakis from US.

#5 What's going on at the Tri-State airport?

LGF has this:

Tri-State Airport in Wayne County has been evacuated. A perimeter has been set up, and evacuees are being asked to stand back 350 feet from the airport.

The Transportation Security Administration reports that a passengers water bottle screened positive for an explosive material around 9:15 this morning. A second test was confirmed at 11:25.

NBC News reports that federal screeners found four containers of liquids inside a womans carry-on bag during the screening process this morning. Larry Salyers, Tri-State Airport Director, tells WSAZ the woman is of Pakistani origin, lived in Jackson, Michigan and most recently lived in the Huntington area. She is being detained for questioning.

FBI officials are on scene.
