Subject: SCUBA Terrorists? (from MSNBC)
Date: Fri, 24 May 2002 11:10:59 -0700
A quote from MSNBC:

"Meanwhile, in an FBI bulletin sent to state and local law enforcement 
agencies, the agency warned that �various terrorist elements have sought to 
develop an offensive scuba diver capability.�
       A U.S. law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, 
said the warning came from interviews with detainees and documents recovered 
in terrorism investigations. But this official declined to offer more 
details.
       The scuba warning, which the FBI said was based on uncorroborated and 
unsubstantiated information, cautioned that while �there is no evidence of 
operational planning to utilize scuba divers to carry out attacks within the 
United States, there is a body of information showing the desire to obtain 
such capability.�

There is an obvious capability to cause great harm from mining ships and 
dams, I think, and on a rebreather noone above would be the wiser?  Scary 
stuff.  What about nuclear plants' cooling water intake/exhaust?

Does this mean interrogate everyone getting fills and check ID's?
:-) (not to laugh at a serious matter though)
