Feds Cite Racist Chatter for ‘Higher State of Alert’ in Inauguration

Federal agents are on “a higher state of alert” because of hate talk by white supremacists about Barack Obama’s Inauguration, officials told the New York Daily News on Tuesday.
“That chatter is out there, no doubt about it,” one senior FBI agent in Washington told me this afternoon, adding that no credible plots against the 56th Presidential Inauguration have been detected.

I sure hope security stays on top of this issue….it would only take one individual to mess things up very badly! I can only imagine the turmoil that would take place in this country if something happened during this inauguration. I’ve heard that the biggest danger is the possible action(s) by a “lone wolf” and with a gathering that large, it’s going to be one heck of a job to make sure everything goes smoothly!
Wow, Bush isn’t even out of office yet and we’re already back to September 10. Are racists really a bigger threat than, say, al-Qaeda? That seems silly.
