Weapon of Mass Effect discovered on US border?
Rurik sends us a link to a Daily Mail article about a Customs and Border Protection Department officer who admitted to their reporter that some sort of “weapon of mass effect” was discovered before it could enter the US;
Reporter: Do you ever find things that are dangerous like a chemical agent or a weaponised device?
Mr Hallor: At the airport, seaport, at our port of entry we have not this past fiscal year, but our partner agencies have found those things.
Reporter: So, specifically, you’re looking for the dirty bomb? You’re looking for the nuclear device?
Mr Hallor: Correct. Weapons of mass effect.
Reporter: You ever found one?
Mr Hallor: Not at this location.
Reporter: But they have found them?
Mr Hallor: Yes.
Reporter: You never found one in San Diego though?
Mr Hallor: I would say at the port of San Diego we have not.
If this is true, and I’m not saying it is (it’s just one guy’s statement), I sure would like to be told by the government. if guys blowing up their ‘nads haven’t sent us into a panic, we deserve to know about this. I have to speculate that it was being transported over our southern border since it hasn’t been made public so as not to revive calls to secure that border.

No government is going to announce that bad guys have nukes, bugs & gas inside the US of A. The panic at Macy’s alone would cause Starbucks to back up.
Weapons of Mass Effect? DaveO is probably right, but it looks like weasel words to me.
Mass Effect 3 comes out this winter and I’m looking forward to it.
A fast scan shows stories of possible dirty bomb plots in Oregon, LA, and Maine. Nothing hard or substantial on any of these except for the one in Maine, and that guy’s wife shot him, so that ended that. I remember several years ago reading about a fairly sophisticated device captured by the FBI, I think it was in NY, but I can’t find any trace of that article at all.
If it was something serious, something would have leaked.. not just a random interview with the Daily Mail.
Did they stop some idiot trying to bring in a conex of PETN shipped from Yemen? That I would buy, because its easy to catch the stupid people.
We all know the fallacy of our protected borders… Just look how well the war on drugs is going. Hell Coke on the street is now cheaper then it was in the 90’s when we were shipping it in for the contras.
Clearly meant 80’s not 90’s in regards to the Contras.
It’s a pattern of overlooking.
San Diego port guy says ‘no, we haven’t found any, but “they” found some elsewhere.’ I do so hate “they.” Freaking bastards.
“They” found an Iranian show&tell book on jihadist martyrs in the desert of Arizona.
Anecdotal evidence of men from the Middle East shoring up the cartels in Mexico.
Iranians in Venezuela to advise Chavez. On what, exactly? How to make falafel?
But we’re overlooking. Strip-searches in airports because one can never tell when Grammy’s going to go radical after reading her latest Rachel Ray cookbook.
Seriously, this is better than Major Reno’s comment to Colonel Custer ‘whadya mean there aren’t any warriors down in the camp? Aw, they’re just resting inside the tents. Stand by…’
Hehe….they’re reporting on this on FOX News as I type his out.
Just watched the video on this and it was glaringly obvious that something has been found somewhere since the statement from the DHS was that they “specifically didn’t find anything with nuclear weapons or nuclear materials”. I take that to mean that they found either chemical or biological agents.
Come on, guys, “the system worked”. I’m sure that Janet Incompetano was all over this, when she wasn’t floating trial balloons for her upcoming Senate run. And, Panetta is on top of this, as soon as his aide tunes the TV to FOX.
I saw this and I though of a bunch of Governmenty types sitting around an xbox smoking weed and trying to come up with something that didn’t sound like Bush era catch phrase but still scary.
Does anyone else find it utterly pathetic that illegals pour through the border, and we have no idea who they are or what they might bring with them? Does anyone care that Feet are washing up in San Diego, or that AZ is under siege? I would think the fact that Iranians have been trying to sneak in would be a dead give away that the time to seal the border is NOW.
