Local Police Real Security

While the world's attention is focused on the capture of a gang of terrorist plotting to blow U.S. airliners out of the sky, this item is not receiving much attention:
From CNN:

MARIETTA, Ohio (AP) -- Two men were charged Wednesday with money laundering in support of terrorism after authorities said they found airplane passenger lists and information on airport security checkpoints in their car.

Deputies stopped Osama Sabhi Abulhassan, 20, and Ali Houssaiky, 20, both of Dearborn, Michigan, on a traffic violation Tuesday. They found the flight documents along with $11,000 cash and 12 phones in the car, said Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks.


Prosecutors aren't talking about the link to terrorism, but the real story is that they were unmasked my local police. That's the way Timothy McVey, the infamous killer of babies in the Oklahoma City bombing, was caught.

If terrorism will truly be stopped in this country, it won't be the bloated Department of Homeland Security (what a joke), it will be the guys on the street.

Our hats' are off to all of them.
