INCIDENT AT LAGUARDIA - ISRAELI TERROR ALERT March 23 2003 at 8:48 AM SAJ SAJ SAJ (Login Cipha_Soundz)
[url=http://www.capitalnews9.com/content/top_stories/Default.asp?ArID=19298&]http://www.capitalnews9.com/content/top_st...asp?ArID=19298&[/url] 3/22/03 LaGuardia Airport evacuated "The central terminal of LaGuardia Airport was evacuated. It happened Friday when a gas mask and white powder were found in an Israeli woman's bag. She was traveling from Israel to Texas. The first test came up positive for anthrax, but a second test proved negative. " local copy [url=http://www.wstm.com/Global/story.asp?S=1192253]http://www.wstm.com/Global/story.asp?S=1192253[/url] 3/22/03 LaGuardia Powder Incident This seems to be the same story which was initially reported, then removed, on CNN. This version says the powder was harmless, but fails to say why the screeners still had to be decontaminated. Note that in this version of the story, the powder was found in a checked bag and the woman was on the plane before she could be questioned. local copy

Earlier reports had the screeners feeling sick. This article says they were just "itchy".

Now, talcum is a pretty well known substance, and the containers it is sold in are clearly marked and are usually described in words like "bottle" or "can", whereas this item is described as a "cylinder", a very unusual word to use for a common household product package. Left unexplained why ten screeners became sick from Talcum, why talcum would cause a rash on the hand of the man who opened it, and why the people had to be decontaminated for talcum.
Powder and gasmask found in luggage but Israeli woman not detained, allowed to board plane to Texas. The powder tests positive for anthrax, then is declared to be harmless, but ten people become sick and are treated, plus the screeners (one of whom gets a rash on his hands) are decontaminated.
Contrast the handling of this woman with the men who were thrown in jail for three weeks for soap powder.
Why do I get the feeling that a staged terror attack to blame on Iraq just fell apart?
More to the point, how many other Israelis are now inside the US with 9 inch cylinders of "harmless powder" and gas masks?

I suspected a Middle East connection in the anthrax letter incidents of Oct. 2001. The fact that an American Jewish woman was so instrumental in trying to point the blame at a gentile American man, this Israel connection seems more and more possible. And given the fact that Israel seeks to foment anti-Arab sentiment in the U.S., and the investigation went nowhere, Israel seems to be the obvious suspect.

If this happened, I would suspect this woman was on her way to help with out with the (propaganda) war effort. You know, some anthrax here and there ... that darn ol' Saddam must be trying to get in his last hits, etc. Let's you know who's really in charge. Let's you know just what you have to be to get a pass ... even if you're carrying anthrax.
