What a complete waste of time. I was stuck in that standstill for 2 hours (reports that the traffic wait 1 hour were not exaggerated; they were just inaccurate). We got into the tunnel after 4pm and didn't get out until after 6:25. I heard from my aunt who was headed in the same direction that they closed the tunnel behind us (she ended up taking the Holland Tunnel to get into NJ). All that for a fucking bottle? Seriously. And on a Friday evening, no less. I'm shomer fucking Shabbos!

Wasn't Clay Aitken the one with the "suspicious package"?

I don't know if many of you have noticed there have been daily exercises by the Fire Dept. in Manhattan. There have also been the black Homeland Security helicopters spotted circling the island. Something is up. Planned terrorist attack soon?

The "if you see something, say something" campaign has made some people paranoid. Hmmm, two bottles with an unidentified liquid. What else is liquid going to be held in but a bottle? It's just litter.

Why is the PA wasting time with this sort of thing? Michael Moore and the neo-libs have told us many times that there is no terror threat. This is another stunt by George Bush to boost his ratings in his final days.

Hey, give the PA a break. They have to spend all their manpower enforcing their ban on photography around their bridges and tunnels.

3 billion a week in Iraq. And it comes down to 2 random bottle of Old Forty to bring the city to a standstill. Woo Bush!

3 hours needed to investigate a bottle!? Then the Port Authority decides to close everything down during rush hour on a Friday no less. The Port Authority is useless just like the MTA.

The Port Authority should all be fired & made to fight in Iraq. Useless scumbags
