Testing

The news has reported some rather strange events lately. There was the report of the "Flying Imams" who acted oddly and were removed from a flight. Yesterday some middle eastern looking guys were found hiding in the cab of a truck entering the Port of Miami. Of course neither of these events turned out to be anything more than paranoid officials overreacting, better known as "Islamophobia". We all know it's perfectly normal to be hiding in a truck cab or acting all wierd on a plane if you're a white guy, right?

Now today we have reports of dozens of dead birds found near the capital building in Austin, Texas, and the strange smell of natural gas in New York City.

I'm sure these reports will also be dismissed as nothing important, so we can all go about our business as usual. Nothing to see here, These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along. The people trying to protect us are having their reputations eroded by the media and made to look like bumbling idiots. How long before we begin to ignore them completely? And can we blame them if they choose to think twice before reporting the next security breach?

Saddam had small strips of white paper dropped over the Kurdish villages to see which way the wind was blowing before they dropped the poison gas.
