Christmas bombers. I reread the article, and it did sound like one of those hype type warnings, so I figured I shouldn't propogate it.

Not to perpetuate what you brought down, as I don't buy into the hype, but being from Chicago, I found this post intriguing:

The blog is run by Chicago police officers and has actually been garnering quite a bit of attention for itself in recent weeks/months with breaking stories before MSM like the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times.
Whether there was a specific threat or not, they make an interesting point.

In some sectors, Christmas is 50% of sales. And all people need is an excuse to deconsumerize....
