Authorities Investigating Cargo Flights in NJ, Pa. - ABC News

New update: USA Fighter jets escorting a commercial jet from Canada to New York's LaGuardia airport.  Maybe unrelated: the Jewish Federation in Chicago is on heightened alert for suspicious packages. Some of the packages from Yemen are reported to be addressed to Chicago Synagogues.

New update: some packages contained explosive material according to Obama's teleprompter.

Suspected bombs on cargo planes and trucks.
Authorities Investigating Cargo Flights in NJ, Pa. - ABC News:

"Philadelphia International Airport spokeswoman Victoria Lupica says Philadelphia police and other agencies are with a plane at a remote part of that airport. Video from the airport shows emergency vehicles around a UPS jet.

A spokeswoman for United Parcel Service Inc. did not immediately know what prompted authorities to search the flight at Philadelphia. The company says it is working closely with authorities."

Radio reports added that there were other bombs were unloaded onto UPS and distributed by trucks.  There was something about a possible bomb investigation in a New York bank.  Suspect devices were also found in London. They originated in Yemen.  Yemen is the new home of New Mexico born imam Anwar al-Awlaki, career advisor to Army Major Malik Nadal Hasan.

Update: false alarm, or as my FaceBook Friend Bob Jackson says, "test runs."

This reminds me of the pre-election bombings in Spain just six years ago.  I will admit, I thought some of my friends were grasping at straws connecting radical Islamic magazines to the recent shootings and other dangerous events.  Now, I am paying a lot more attention.

The article mentions that they are "believed to be Muslim." Shock!

London's Black Cabs: Product of the Nanny State

London's Black Cabs are Facing new Competition for Fares - WSJ.com:

"LONDON—London's black cabs might be as iconic as Big Ben, but in a city that has seen other much-loved symbols such as red telephone boxes and Routemaster double-decker buses almost disappear, being iconic is no guarantee of a future.

London's famous licensed taxis, whose origins go back 350 years, are, along with their drivers, now facing stronger competition from new rivals."

I always thought London cabs were so cute! Had no idea of the nannyism behind that until I read this article. The turning radius is regulated under a ridiculous set of Conditions of Fitness. The look is regulated so stupid people won't confuse them with any other vehicle. Licensing requirements are just stupid, preventing others from entering the business. A court dented the Conditions and Fitness rules, but the "stronger competition from new rivals" comment is laughable.  It is not like they are getting competition from Joe six-pint in his 2001 Ford Fiesta.  It goes on and on in the article.
