UPS Cargo Flight From Yemen To Chicago Stopped In London, Found To Contain Ink Toner Cartridge Converted To Bomb, Two Other Bomb Scares
Update: Officials are concerned passenger flights presently in the air have bombs on them now; Multiple Flights with multiple bombs apparently, just headlines for now.
In addition to a UPS cargo flight from Yemen to Chicago being diverted to London after a bomb was found in a converted ink cartrige, CNN reports of two other planes being checked for explosives, one landing in Philadelphia, and one in New Ark. Was Cashin's prediction earlier of increased terror alerts ahead of Halloween correct? It is unclear as of yet whether the Yemen cartridge was to be delivered to the temporarily empty printer at the Marriner Eccles building.
From the News Of Today:
We earlier reported that authorities at the Philadelphia International Airport, and well as the Newark New Jersey airport were searching three different UPS cargo planes, after they got reports earlier that a toner cartridge had been found on a plane in London which had been converted into an IED.
Earlier a plane which had landed in London from Yemen had a device on it which alarmed authorities. When reports of a suspicious package came into authorities this morning in Philadelphia, they began searching cargo planes in the US to make sure that the IED found on the Yemen to London plane was not part of a widespread terrorist plan. The device found in London was on a plane which was headed to Chicago on it’s next stop.
Officials with UPS have stated, “we are cooperating fully with authorities in Philadelphia. The aircraft has been isolated; the shipment in question is being removed. The aircraft involved is a two-crew member plane. The crew has been safely evacuated.”
Reports have also indicated that a UPS truck has also been stops and the bomb squad is on scene. This is a breaking story, and we will update it as more news comes in.

Tiny bomb is tiny. What on earth did anyone expect to accomplish with something like that?
Oh yeah, goad our security theater apparatus into further choking commerce. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
You're probably not too far off base considering there are a zillion packages on those planes, someone obviously tipped off authorities. Usually the one offering the tip is responsible for planting it in the first place. Why? Like you said, choke the system.
Agree, nice diversion for MSM and to help the US Gov/MIL complex ramp up killing others thousands of miles away.
WAIT, what about the virtually unabated TONNES of drugs entering the USA from Mexico? What if some of it was not simply drugs? See where i am going with this, two small 'bombs' in packages from a country/place the USA might want to invade versus easy pass for TONNES of other substances into America.
Who benefits from this? That's the only question that needs to be asked to find who was behind it. It's always that simple. ALWAYS.
Thanks for the post Tyler -- I shorted the spoos when this was posted. Made a few handles to 1176.50.
Authorities say it tested negative for explosives
The drug cartels in Mexico are aligned with Hezbollah both for IED training and for smuggling operatives in through Mexico. The border patrol actually catches about 500-1000/month that originate in Yemen, Somalia, etc.
Hezbollah = Arab Democracy. What "we" want, no?
Don't forget the heroin surge from Afghanistan since 2002. Seems our boys do a good job of guarding those poppy fields.
just a coincidence :>
Is this some kind of joke?
Exploding toner?
Small amounts of explosive powder loosely packed into a plastic container?
Am I supposed to laugh or just not give a shit?
Or planted by one of our own honorable servants seeking to further heighten our appreciation of the necessity for constant vigilance and surveillance.
Surely genuine, i.e., external malevolents could do better?
You will notice how quickly and easily the device was found, how obvious it was that it was suspicious, and we learn that the tip was very detailed.
They do it because it works, that's why. Expect a lot more of this, and then expect a new directive to increase security at any cost.
You don't even need tinfoil for this shit anymore. We're not the crowd they are playing.
I am wondering which of our false-flag agencies decided it would be a good idea to buy toner cartidges from Yemen. Maybe they've got a really good refill program going!
cause we don't have people there
October surprise! LOL!
Sep 3 Dubai UPS crash - accidental early detonation or attack on UPS?
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Back to your griddle, serf! The banksters are hungry from planning their next trillion dollar theft.
"Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." Hey, that's my line!
But you are correct- a false flag before Armageddon on November 3rd, 2010 so TPTB can have even more power and reason to control everything.
What's on November 3rd, 2010 - the zombie apocalypse?
No, the zombie photo on the capital steps.
Inside source at UPS says the Dubai crash was caused by rechargeable batteries (for laptops, etc.) overheating and catching fire. This is what the internal investigation shows and will not be published for months due to the nature of these things. Just passing this along.
The HFT bots will no doubt quote stuff the Ask on UPS so it goes below $67 if they get half a chance.
"caused by rechargeable batteries (for laptops, etc.) overheating and catching fire."
Airport Security Officer: "Of course it's company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo..."
"Always use the indefinite article "A" dildo, never "YOUR" dildo"
Brown Bomber? Ink jet cartridges? I knew printing would be our downfall, but I didn't expect this.
/thread
Considering Banana Ben is gonna print us into oblivion its pretty damn funny that this bomb is made out of ink toner.
:D
+100
LOL, the irony!
Now THAT is funny! +1000
Yeah, dang!
FED agent: "Dr. Bernanke, one of our toner cartridges is missing, sir. We have no choice but to stop at two trillion."
Bernanke: "That's impossible! We've got to go up to three at least! Goldman'll have my ass! Look, just go down to Staples..."
( fumbles in pocket, but comes up with only a couple dollars. Looks back at the FED agent, embarrassed. )
Bernanke: "Say, could you possibly, ah, put it on your card...?"
If the Toner Bomb was in a box of "Federal Reserve Bernanke Green" cartridges...
Then the Yemen branch of Al-CIA-qaeda just decided who the real terrorist is...
Bennie Bernank-ster -- Fed State Sponsored Terrorist!
Security fucking theater. The headline on CNN says "Bomb on plane" then further in the article says:
"The suspicious package, which contained a "manipulated" toner cartridge, tested negative for explosive material,"
Well, which is it you DB's?
HA! I bet its a continuous ink system!
I have one of these. They are great for printing large amounts of color pages. They practically never run out of ink, and when they finally do, you just pour some more in. Very cheap to operate. I can see how a moron might mistake one for a bomb, as they have a lot of tubes running everywhere.
1) take remote control firmly in hand
2) press TV
3) press OFF
The detonation sequence?
Not so easy...

In a sane world.. the likes of CNN should lose their license for a time for scaring the masses so irresponsibly, so brazenly.
In the real world.. MSM sensationalizes it to get the sheeple and collect the advertising dollars..
In a sane world the MSM would act as an independent branch of government, as they were intended.
Look up "access journalism". I'll save everyone the trouble:
http://www.seconddraft.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=76&Itemid=91
This is HP's business model taken to the extreme...sell printers cheap then make a killing on the toner cartridges.
Ha! Needed that. Thanks.
THAT was very damn funny.
I am fully confident that our glamorous and courageousTSA Agents will be able to protect us. <sarcasm> I just shutter to think of any one of those clowns at airport check-in handling this situation.
Conversation overheard between two TSA screeners:
Fred: Hey George, does this image look funny.
George: Screw that, check out the babe stepping into cancer-producing backscatter X-ray scanner #3. OOOOh LaLa.
Fred: You can say that again. Thank heavens Chartoff was able to sell all these death-machines to the stupid DHS. Unlimited porn. I feel like a SEC grunt.
George: And the insipid MSM never had disclaimers stating that he was the lead spokesman for Death R Us Corp. What a bunch of punks. Go ahead and copy the babe's scans so we can sell them to the SEC boyz.
Are there enough trannies in "circulation" to meet the SEC's needs?
And now this:
A bomb squad in New York City is responding to a report of a suspected explosive device inside a package aboard a UPS truck in Queens, the deputy police commissioner said Friday. Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne declined to say whether the discovery is connected to the incidents at the Newark and Philadelphia airports.
Where did you see this? I can't find anything on it. Or am I missing a joke? :P
http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/10/29/hazmat-incident-at-philadelphia-air...
Thanks. Much appreciated fine sir.
Edited: This is actually really funny. How did they "discover" this package? Was it noticeable? And if so, didn't the driver think it was strange? These stories are just crazy.
Washington DC has a "suspicious package" scare in one of their Metro stations earlier this morning.
Tis the silly season.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/29/AR2010102901891.html
I can just see the coming Press Conference, where the Dog and Pony show of government agencies--starring Homeland Security--announces a plot to disrupt our "free and democratic" elections.
They then defiantly charge the US people to prove that our Great Democracy cannot be subverted . . . by voting.
It's just so fucking sad. What we've become.
PsyOps are gearing up. They need fear to achieve their goals. Well, I am not afraid. Bring it motherfuckers; bring it big so we can get the show on the road.
Is that a suspicious package, or are you just happy to see me?
This.
THIS JUST IN! It is reported that Lady Gaga has a suspicious package. Waterboarding proved ineffective when questioning him/her as she seemed to derive pleasure from the experience. We are dealing with a whole new breed of terrorist threat.

Someone phone the keystone cops. Quick, detonate every UPS truck!
Everything is EFFing "suspicious!" I let a fart go at the airport, and all of a sudden people think they smell "suspicious gas" and the bomb squad is called! LOL
Next thing you see will be signs "No Flatulence In This Restricted Area Please "
Everything is EFFing "suspicious!"
"'Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?' said Dr. Ferris. 'We want them broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against - then you'll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We're after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now, that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.'""The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction [that] you give it." Ayn Rand ('John Galt Speech' 'Atlas Shrugged' 1957 )
Just more HP propaganda against refilling toner cartridges.
:D
:D
It's a message to ZimBen and the Inkjets...
Stop the printing or the cartridge gets it....
Ahahahaaa! Awesome!
ORI
This is why I love ZH.
Pay day bitchez!
Imagine the employment possibilities of scanning/x-raying every letter, package and shipment in the United States. Next will be truck lines and LTL.
Ok, so they happened to find all of these "in time."
Amusing for sure.
This time. Next could be exploding iPhone cases (white?). To insure public safety and domestic tranquility we need to suspend all internet activity and confiscate all guns and gold that are privately held in the US. Seig Heil.
Yeah, funny how that is.
Either they planted these themselves (can you spell treason) or else the real bomb in much less suspicious packaging is on it's way to New York Central Station in time for rush hour.
Doesn't take a genius to work these things out.
If NY Central Station blows the fuck up, I want everyone to know I just pulled that out of the air. I'm god-damned serious. I'm not taking any shit over this. Fact.
You've been reported. Make it easy on yourself and report directly to DHS for processing.
You thought it, you did it! The new justice in America....when it's convenient.
Time to "Drop a Dime" to the Thought Police (or is it "Drop a Quarter -- Dollar?" these days?)
Putting bombs in ink cartridges?
Someone is trying to subversively prop up the dollar.
One wonders what kind of freight is normally being shipped from Yemen to Chicago. Would that be an expected trade route for ink toner in the first place?
LOL!
Lololololol!
Good one.
I'm visualizing a bunch of old wood crates labeled "Not a bomb"
Now that is funny. Well done.
+1
Well, it would be if Osama sent it. Besides, wouldn't Yemen be a nice place to invade to stage even more troops in the M.E. theatre?
We are already there... and increasing.
I don't know about you guys, but this makes me feel better.
Edit: Sort of better.
This whole things stinks of security theater. If the concept is new to you, look it up. This guy may have invented the term, I don't know. He talks about it all the time:
Schneier on Security:http://www.schneier.com/
it's the only theater where we're effective
Remember the 5th November.....
At the begining of the year, Celente was pitching "Terror 2010" and then it just fizzled out?

WOW, scratch what I said in an earlier thread, QE2 is going to be $5T. Headline saturation Bitchez!!
I see a flag and the flag says false.
So much terror chatter.
Where is it going to be? Maybe a thong bomber this time?
She was a bomb in a thong he said.
Truer words may never have been spoken.
Boom!

Could somebody please amputate the invisible hand that keeps propping BAC up...thus saving the entire freakin' market?
Thank you.
Thanks for noticing that as well. Someone is throwing tremendous amounts of money on leverage at that stock whenever it begins to crash. Trying to spin the plates in the hopes a ail mary will keep allow an orderly exit. Once the panic takes hold on BAC all the other dominos will fall and they know it. That equity cannot handle and actual volume at this point.
See? They've already found a great use for the QE2 money.
what a theatre
ben is about to destroy the dollar and they concentrate on a small bomb in an ink cartridge
who is the bigger terrorist?
Ben or Bin?

You are so right......

I'll go one step further than Art Cashin and predict we'll see a never ending increase in "terror alerts". It's how they keep Americans and Europeans in line and willing to cough up their liberties.
Fear is the best motivator. After all the money spent and freedoms forfeited we must ask, why is the problem worse than ever?
A logical mind using critical thinking skills might just ask that question. But the dumbing down continues. The average Joe is like the electric shock wired rat reaching for the food every time the "fear" jolt is applied. And I know plenty of people who claim they understand they're being manipulated, yet they are so conditioned that they still "duck and cover" every time.
It's amazing how long the 9/11 shock and awe conditioning has lasted with only the need for a few reminders a year. The battered spouse still pulls back in fear when the batterer raises his hand.
1984.
The book, not the year.
In the end you genuinely welcome the bullet.
>> why is the problem worse than ever?
It is very profitable.
October surprise?
Imagine the stampede in a Congress with so many newbies to clamp down further on our tattered freedoms if there were an apparent terrorist attack.
Not just newbies... flag waving, jingoistic newbies. Good times.
True, but I didn't wanna go there.
meh... I'm happy to do the dirty work. The funny/sad part... I'm sure they are all well intended... they have campaigned on the evils of government and sincerely believe they are going to be part of the solution. Little do they know...(.)
I'll go even further. For the last few generations Americans have been mentally conditioned to accept Fascism as a viable solution ... to anything. Our politics are rife with it, corporations are run on it, and the SCOTUS has embraced it with a lover's ardor. You could hand-pick Congress from the best and most noble people you can find from the Left, Right, Center and Sideways and you would still end up with a bunch of fucking Fascists.
Stick a fork in it cuz it's done.
I don't know how the fuck we're going to turn this around. I seriously do not know. I don't think we can.
I share your conclusions
Can someone hear the music? I personally don't think that any 'V' can be born in United State of Greedy People.
If this is true, this could have come from Chinese, Japanese, Greeks, French or anywhere in the world, as this country through its greedy nature has got "friends" everywhere.

Wonder how many Toner Cartriges have been delivered to Businesses that do not know they have a Bomb on their Storage Shelf? How many in Offices all around New York?
How many Big Businesses would even check Toner Cartridges delivered? I think they would just put them on their storage shelves.
Forget your toner cartridges, ya'll better go check your underwear drawers!
...and I'm looking for? Made in America, free-range cotton products?
No, Dagny, you're looking for the thing you've got stashed UNDER that stuff.
Porn??
Wow, do I really have to spell this out?
D-I-L-D-O.
Don't worry, it's no threat to you.
LOL! Marla humor . . . what ever happened to that gurl, anyway?
Well I'm wearing my gun, the ammo won't fit in a drawer and the PM's, well they aren't in with my undies... what am I missing?
Well all I know is that anything in my Underware drawers is worth 50% more than it was before Cotton went up. So I see your point. Your underware has gone up in value by 50%.
But, as far as my underware drawer I do not get the contents shipped from yemmen.
guess where back to the days of color coded terror alerts...
false flags and away!!!!
So freaking true...will it be terror if the Oligarchs accidentally blow themselves up while trying to instill fear in the sheeple worldwide?
Now that's what I call a true contrarian play!
A real terrorist would actually go after the oligarchy.
You're confusing "Freedom Fighter" with "Terrorist!" :>D
Imagine a online data base like for child molesters, for the elite.
Take google earth, homes of the stars, and wikileaks. Using corp. board of directors spyderweb directory for data base all combined together.
Ok, who scheduled today as "Black Friday", instead of the day after Thanksgiving?
Just another way to doom the retail shopping market before the holidaze.
Bin Bernake Boms Bitchez.
Ah hell....this is just a Homeland Security orchestrated revenge play to get back at the Brits for the remarks they made a few days ago concerning our insane security mentality. The problem seems to have "originated" in a British distribution center. I am not much of a conspiracy theorist, but that is a hilarious coincidence.
Well, now that that scare is over the market can resume its rush to flatness for the remainder of the day.
And, Presto! Crisis over, markets are flat. Amazing how that happens!
It was probably put there by waddell and reed, trying to start another flash crash.
This also.
Brilliant!! Bravo! Ink that spontaneously combusts. What hyperinflation?
Best one yet!
:D
I think the perps would be pretty pissed if they found a place where their pathetic sheeple scare tactics (PSST) generate so much brilliant mirth and merriment.
Truly it is a strange world we inhabit now.
Un-bearable tragedy that is truly comic.
What a mind-duck.
Welcome to the asylum!

If they found? I imagine Goldman Sachs has formed a quiet "committee" just to deal with ZH. Hahaha, you gotta figure they know that we know that they know. It is beyond comical. But no matter how silly, It remains tragic that the Emperor has no friggin' clothes!
I think it stands to reason that there are a whole lotta maliciously interested parties represented here.
Best spend those FRNs before they go "Up in Smoke!" :>D
Last time I bought ink cartridges for my HP printer, my wallet blew up. ($68 bucks!). I blame terrorists.
I cannot understand why people are not yet shifting to much cheaper laser printers?
besides, ink jets sucks
No shit. I love my micro-footprint Sharp laser--$49 with toner cartridge from TigerDirect.
You need one if you want to do those iron on transfers to make tshirts and such.. The heat of the laser drum kill those..
And the "ink" softens up images when printed..
Get a continuous ink system instead, and refill your ink once every five years, and only spend maybe 10 bucks on it.
Thank goodness our lords and their vassals are out there protecting us peons. All hail the police state!
Must keep the sheepie afraid......... must make them believe the Government is necessary
What a coincidence, right before election day! Just like the oddly-timed terror alert in France while everyone was protesting. Amazing how these terrorists know to raise their heads up at the exact time a government is looking to keep control of its people.
Coincidence indeed.
Oh the irony sometimes is so poetic. Those cartridges if destined for currency Printing presses are more dangerous in their original form.
OMG John that comment is so prophetic.
