Summary: Since two of the suspicious packages that were intercepted were addressed to religious institutions in Chicago, all churches, synagogues and mosques in the Chicago area should be vigilant for any unsolicited or unexpected packages, especially those originating from overseas locations. It’s way too early to rush to conclusions seeming as though there has been heightend security at airports.  President Obama has directed U.S intelligence, law and Homeland Security agencies to take steps to ensure American safety and decide whether or not the package threat is part of terrorism plotting. A number of items removed from a cargo plane in the Midlands Airport in Central England, are being tested.  Within the last twenty four hours, security officials recieved a tip from an unnamed ally that packages coming from Yemen were destined for synagogues in Chicago, Illinois.

Response: I believe that the whole thing is petty.  Why would someone want to hide and do things.  If they don’t like the U.S that badly, then they should come out from hiding so we can battle it out.  Obviously, we have to invest in more money and do extra thing we shouldn’t even have to do because of the attacks.  Why should we have to be more alert and cautious to protect our people from something we the United States got ourselves into?  It’s nice to help other countries and all, but they want us out anyways.  We’re spending way too much money and time in something that shouldn’t even have been our business.  Our focus was to find the Taliban, and we’ve obviously gone astray from that plan.
