<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Authorities fear the school massacre that shook Russia a few years ago may be a dress rehearsal for what al-Qaida plans to do in America ? only on a grander scale, launching multiple school attacks simultaneously across the country. The FBI and Homeland Security Department last month distributed a bulletin to law enforcement across the country warning that Muslims with "ties to extremist groups" are signing up to be school bus drivers. They also noted "recent suspicious activity" by foreigners who either drive school buses or are licensed to drive them. "Islamic terrorists are already in place in the U.S. and, yes, that includes bus drivers, cafeteria workers and also airport workers," added Grossman, a former Army Ranger and West Point professor.Recent events come on top of several other school bus-related incidents involving Mideast men that raise suspicion of terror activity. They include last year's surprise boarding of a school bus in Tampa, Fla., by two Saudi men dressed in trench coats. Authorities suspect they were making a dry run to see how easy it would be to hijack or blow up a school bus filled with innocent American students. Previously, an Arab man from Detroit was caught trying to obtain a job as a school bus driver in New York using fake Social Security documents.</div>http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article....RTICLE_ID=54975Good lord, if this is something thats being planned, the thought of hundreds of school children getting massacred could set this country on a firestorm...could you imagine if this happened? Terrorists take out a dozen schools? How would schools handle it?
It happened in Russia, read the whole article, this stuff seems to be going on. Most of these threats are just speculation, but we've found school building plans in Iraq and in various terrorist busts. I think this is very serious.
Wow!!! All I have to say to that is:BULL SH*Tand I can't believe how gullible you must be to believe that b.s - oh no! whatch out for Osama the school bus driver!

An ounce of prevention. We should close the damn southern border down to the last compound immediately. F*ck cheap labor and "comprehensive" immigration for now. We should be concentrating major resources on comprehensive prevention of terrorist threats. I think we need to kick down resources to our most nimble national investigative agencies to root out existing terror cells at the expense of the "Drug War," which is a complete waste of money anyway. If really close up tight for awhile, the illegal dope in this country would dry us out quicker than a yeast infection.Internationally, I would be happy if we could work hard to gain allies instead of selling wolf tickets to Middle Eastern countries. Talking tough and carrying a soft switch ain't working. If we know what the threat is, why are our policies so myopic? There is an actual political argument about the border when we're supposedly fighting terrorism? WTF?

Yeah, they knocked the towers over and killed 3,000 people but take over a school, THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Give me a break Reppin.

Putting more money into "rooting out existing terrorist cells" would be just as wasteful as the "Drug War" - both are huge wastes of money that could be going into something that we actually need. All of these terrorist threats are just figments of the United States paranoia.
Maybe you're right Reppin. Was 9/11 a figment of our imagination, as well?Edit: You ain't speak on the open border.
I can't help but notice you're acting kinda dumb lately BCB. First you say that me calling 11 year olds having sex is just because I'm jealous I'm not having underage sex like you apparantly did LOTS, and now you're saying reppin's a terrorist lover just because you're dumb enough to think terrorists would attack our schools. I used to have a problem with respecting the opinions of others, but now I think it's you with that problem.
It was just a joke doorknob....it's okay.(And islamic terrorists have already attacked a school, it's not stupid at all to think it could happen, your the same person that would have called me stupid on 9/10/01 if I suggested terrorists could bring the towers down).

Russia is enormous and undeveloped and an ally to most "terrorist nations". That's like saying that the fact that the celtics lost a game to Philly means it'll happen to the lakers, only 100 times as bad.
This just seems like more big brother terror tactics to get the American public to fall into line. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, I'm just saying this is like all those other scares that haven't amounted to much of anything. These happen in Russia because the Muslim population is a lot higher, and it isn't "walking on egg shells" like it is here. in the US the Muslims who aren't terrorist are trying their damnedest to not look or act like terrorist, and for the most part the Muslims in America are left alone. however in Russia there is a lot tension between Muslims, and Christian. and unlike here, the Christians do attack the Muslims a lot, probably about as often as the Muslims attack the Christians. There is also the Chechneya(sp?) conflict over there, which has created a lot of these fanatics who are willing to do this crap. the US-Muslim conflicts are thousands of miles away from the US main land, so it's a lot more difficult for some fanatic to get here, prepare, and carry out an attack. even before 9/11 this was difficult for them to do, the 9/11 hijackers spent years preparing with little to no survalience(sp?). today with the Patroit act, anyone suspecious gets watched.also, if they tried shooting up a public school; the school children would probably fire back with as crazy as this world is. the kids would probably be better trained and better armed as well.
I hope I don't get an Islamic bus driver, he'd be even worse than the one I have now who looks like a pedafile on to catch a predator.

I don't see what and the hell the muslim populations in Russia to here have to do with anything and I don't understand your mindsets when you say, 'well that was in Russia'...christ, there's no security at most public schools, much less elementary/middle schools....you guys act like this couldn't happen. Most of the time I blow these threats off, but I read about school plans being found in Iraq last year...etc...All this 'well it's harder to pull this stuff off now'...well no kidding...but if you guys expect homeland security to save our ass every single time, your fooling yourselfs.
I'm not saying it couldn't happen, I'm just saying the chances aren't as high as you might think. The terrorist objective is to try and scare America out of the middle east, attacking a school in the US might do it, but it might also piss of this country and in the long run do more damage to their cause. I think the chances are much higher than some gayass emo kid shoots a school up than an Islamic militant, most Militants have an agenda so shooting up a school wouldn't achive their agenda. if you look at most the school shooters in the US, they are done by crazied or depressed nutjobs who just want to take as many people as they can with them. Terrorist attacks are designed to achive their goal.
Wouldn't shock me at all. Most schools are very easy targets due to lack of security. Sometimes I fear going to school the next day after hearing about a school shooting somewhere. It's so easy for intruders to get on to school grounds. All they have to do is go plant a bomb somewhere, and tragedy strikes.
