New terrorist tactic: Suspicious bags?

NEW YORK (WABC) -- You've probably heard the slogan "See Something, Say Something." Now it appears potential terrorists hope that you do, just to see the response.

Suspicious bags, some provoking a cautious response, were checked out in large numbers in the weeks after the failed Times Square bombing attempt.

Now as large numbers of tourists flood into New York City and the nation's capital, the FBI is warning of a new terror tactic.

Citing an FBI informational document, ABC News reports a so called "battle of suspicious bags" is being encouraged on a jihadist website.

Bomb expert Kevin Barry with 20 years experience in the NYPD says the bags could be filled not with bombs, but with innocuous items like water bottles or socks.

The potential terrorists would be watching the response.

"How they evacuate. The standoff distances. How long it takes additional emergency services to come to the scene," Barry said.

While not giving away details, police do have numerous ways of responding to these types of incidents.

The report says no evidence of a suspicious bag campaign has been found so far in New York City or Washington.

"After every major incident there will be a spike in calls because people become more nervous and there is more reporting of suspicious items," Barry said.

Putting more emphasis, security experts say, on the slogan "see something, say something."

"People are becoming more suspicious, more vigilant and that results in more calls. We understand that happens and we are prepared to respond," police commissioner Ray Kelly said.

Fortunately they haven't yet stumbled on the idea of 19 "suspicious packages" and one bomb yet, to occupy first responders and spread panic.

These terrorists guys are soo f'n stupid.
Every single one of em from the doormat jackoffs who don't know how baby's are made to the so called "respected Doctors and lawyers who could no longer sit and do nothing".

Anyone whose spent more than a month in NYC knows exactly what would need to be done and would have done it already. The only prerequisite is that you have at least an IQ over 100 and have said the term "Jesus fucking h christ" titty bar at least once.
Something these human defect have never quite got the hang of.

There are a hell of a lot of very effective things terrorists could do that aren't exactly rocket science. More than anything I think what has limited attacks against America is their desire to "make a splash" which requires more planning, time, and is more likely to be caught. Luckily they have to this point remained ignorant of the "death by a thousand cuts" concept.

A few years back when i went on a crazy trip out to MA to hook up with some crazy (hot) forum member, i flew on skybus, a start up airline that flew in and out of small airports for super cheap. I arrived (drunk) at a military airport in a small city, and left a bag outside the terminal while i waited for a ride. I got assaulted by 3 men in uniform and almost arrested on the spot.

this is nothing new
