Default suspicious? maybe

Maybe I'm paraniod, but I've been watching the sites for ducted fan powerplants both here and RCG. There are some DF units that have been on sale for months showing no interest from anyone, now that OBL havs been done away with in Pakistan there is some guy or girl named Shery from Pakistan that seems pretty desperate to buy up everything DF on RCG. He even got in touch with me because I replied to one of the DF ads, telling me he would buy up any or all DF stuff I own. I don't know if there is an agenda here or not.

I'm sure that within an hour of your post, there was a CIA team hunting the guy down. Your vigilance is the kind we all need to have. It may sometimes seem more like paranoia but being a little paranoid may not be a bad thing. Better safe than sorry.

Being a liitle paranoid is a good thing,

A few years back me and my boys were at the local fishing pier and there was a family, maybe 2, made up of men/women/kids of obvious Mid eastern decent.. No read flag yet,, but when they started taking pictures of themselves with the Power Plant in the back ground that threw up big red flags to me,, Why not the lake in the back ground??? Well not much time passed when we start hearing the news stories of Terrorists possibly targeting Power Plants and other infrastructure.. It could have been all just coincidence, but I wished I'd called the police. I ever see anything that seams funny like that again I'm calling.

You did the right thing airega1. I'm behind you all the way. Everyone needs to be well aware of everything going on around us.

Absolutely! One will definitely get Poo-Pooed by the masses, but diligence to what's happening is sorely needed.

Good Work!

I think that there are a lot more American civilians then there are agents that do this for a living, the American people need to wake up and take off the blinders.. Today's world is much different then it was 20 years ago, you just cant take things for granted.. If someone flames you for being concerned, who cares.. You know that you did the right thing and that's all that matters..
I often wonder if anyone noticed something leading up to 9-11, but didn't think to act on it. I would bet that someone did see or here something and didn't do anything about it, bet I can guess how they feel now....

OH YES! There were a number of things. CIA agents knew stuff but were turned away when they reported to supervisers. Pilot instructors never questioned some students that only wanted to know how to fly around the sky and had no interest in landing.

Can you imagine what would have happened if Bush had announced even just the day before that there was a definite problem existing and commercial aviation was to sit a day or two out? The liberal media would have flushed him down the toliet with all the garbage they could muster and 70% of the populace would have laughed him down more.
Just this AM, there was a news program in NYC asking youngsters about Bin Laden. Almost all had no knowledge of the name. One youngster did recall that he was a guy that liked to kill people.

Someone gets stabbed around here and the news people lash out for more gun control. Figure out that mentality!!!
