Terror concerns prompt stricter TSA scrutiny of air cargo from five mostly-Muslim countries
Growing concern about terrorists getting a bomb onto a plane headed for the United States prompted an emergency order requiring stricter scrutiny of air cargo by TSA Administrator David Pekoske. Effective Monday morning, all cargo being loaded onto flights at last point of departure airports in five predominately Muslim countries — Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates — will be subject to the new requirements.
"These countries were chosen because of a demonstrated intent by terrorist groups to attack aviation from them," said a TSA official familiar with the order. "This is all intel driven."
Six airlines — EgyptAir, Royal Jordanian, Qatar, Saudi, Emirates and Etihad — serving the U.S. from seven airports are now required to comply with Air Cargo Advance Screening protocols. Known as ACAS, it is typically a voluntary program, that provides the TSA and Customs and Border Protection with advanced information about all cargo those carriers plan to bring to the United States.
The airports subject to the order include Cairo International Airport in Egypt, Queen Alia International Airport in Jordan, King Abdul-Aziz International Airport and King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia, Doha International Airport in Qatar, as well as Dubai International Airport and Abu Dhabi International Airport in the U.A.E.

It's funny how some countries never make the news. Whatever their doing or not doing should be exported.

I missed these.
“We are the death merchant of the world”: Ex-Bush official Lawr...
Was Bill Clinton’s expansion of NATO — after George H. W. Bush and [his Secretary of State] James Baker had assured Gorbachev and then Yeltsin that we wouldn't go an inch further east — was this for Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon, and Boeing, and others, to increase their network of potential weapon sales?" Wilkerson asked.
"You bet it was," he answered.
"Is there a penchant on behalf of the Congress to bless the use of force more often than not because of the constituencies they have and the money they get from the defense contractors?" Wilkerson continued.
Again, he answered his own question: "You bet."
"It's not like Dick Cheney or someone like that went and said let's have a war because we want to make money for Halliburton, but it is a pernicious on decision-making," the former Bush official explained. "And the fact that they donate so much money to congressional elections and to PACs and so forth is another pernicious influence."
"Those who deny this are just being utterly naive, or they are complicit too," Wilkerson added.
There are an estimated 30,000 military contractors working for the Pentagon in Afghanistan today; they outnumber U.S. troops three-to-one. Thousands more are in Iraq.
Lockheed Martin simply "plans to sell every aspect of missile defense that it can," regardless of whether it is needed, Wilkerson said. And what is best to maximize corporate interest is by no means necessarily the same as what is best for average citizens.
"We dwarf the Russians or anyone else who sells weapons in the world," the retired Army colonel continued.
“We are the death merchant of the world.”

In response to my FOIA, FBI says has no records on Identity Evropa, a White Supremacist group that helped lead the Charlottesville rally that resulted in the death of a counter-protester.

Is this like Mad Libs or did this guy just take a Margaret Thatcher quote and change the words so that he could use her credibility?
Nevermind I don't care. It's just fake.
good old american terrorism
how is america going to pay for this? take it out of the "defense" budget; you can pay for past terrorism by defunding present terrorism:

The fact that black Americans have not burned this country to the ground for centuries of terror and horror it gave them, speaks volumes about them. So does the fact that Washington has never paid reparations while black Americans are still facing endless racism and injustice.

I bet it had a significant effect on the decision to invade Iraq!
i cant remember what effect it had, they probably didnt get as much bombs / troops as they wanted.
