Good save
Dogs alerted to explosives at gate; two detained by INS

Two men driving a rental truck were detained Friday when they attempted to enter the base without proper credentials. Their action prompted officials to close the Franklin Gate and a half-mile area off base as a preventive measure after a military working dog alerted to potential explosives in the truck's cab.

An Atlanta-based moving and storage company contracted the rental truck and drivers for a household goods pickup on base.

Upon entering the base, one of the occupants could not provide the proper credentials so security officials instructed them to go to the Franklin Gate Pass and ID office.

As a precaution, the watch commander alerted the base police to the situation.

I think there have been 5 or 6 similar incidents, including 9/11.

landscapers,
dedicated to the creation of open tracts of farmland within densely developed urban areas.

Hence the explosives.

It would seem merely a false alert from the dog, which happens, even with professionally trained beasts.

Secret agents are, of course, notorious for lacking the papers needed to pass them by an encounter with the police....

"Can't nobody here play this game?"

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

.....and deported before any real investigation could be completed! :crazy:
To make matters worse, the bottles that they threw out the windows during the chase were found to contain a medium for growing bacteria. :shrug:

Sometimes it's hard to tell if sarcasm is off or on.,

.....however I might have had the wrong set of Israeli movers.

New Israeli Moving Van Mystery

'Learn to Fly in Florida' business card found on Israeli arrested after high speed chase in Tennessee
May 11--Venice, Florida
by Daniel Hopsicker

Two Israelis driving a moving van were arrested in Tennessee last Saturday after leading police on a high-speed chase, marking at least the third time since 9/11 that Israelis in moving vans suspected of espionage in the U.S. have been taken into custody.

Taken into custody in the incident were Israeli nationals Shmuel Dahan and Almaliach Naor. In the wallet of 23-year old Dahan, an Israeli military veteran living in Miami Beach, police discovered a “ Learn to Fly in Florida” business card.

"I got a sick feeling when I saw it (the business card)," Kent Harris, Sheriff of Unicol County in Tennessee, told the Associated Press, expressing concern about the proximity of the nearby Nuclear Fuel Services plant in Erwin.

“Its the nation’s sole provider of fuel for the Navy’s nuclear subs,” he explained in a phone interview Monday evening.

The chase began late Saturday afternoon when County Sheriffs noticed a rental moving truck traveling at a high speed along former U.S. Highway 23, a lightly traveled highway near the North Carolina state line.

“They were driving recklessly and at a high rate of speed down an old highway that nobody uses anymore,” Harris told us. "I was really concerned because the driver would not stop after I flashed my headlights for nearly three miles. He was weaving back and forth, and I was wondering what a large truck was doing on a two-lane highway instead of the much-faster I-26 interstate."

Witnesses saw the men throw something from the truck while they were being pursued, said the sheriff. Officers scouring the area later found a vial containing an unknown substance along the roadway.

Police said the liquid in the 12-ounce plastic container was thick, like liquid drain cleaner. Because of slowness at the State Crime Lab, Harris said it has been sent it to a nearby private lab to be tested.

These guys were taken into custody by INS and deported just before the test results showed that the "thick liquid" in the bottles was a medium for growing bacteria.

Maybe because I-26 is 60 miles away?
