Federal law enforcement terror bulletins have become as much a part of the holiday season in the past decade as egg nog and department store Santas.

But this year, which ends amid a heightened concern over terror, is a little different. A Department of Homeland Security bulletin sent to law enforcement nationwide Thursday says that federal authorities worry terrorists will try to rattle Americans by attacking during the holidays, and lists concerns including car bombs, trucks ramming crowds and a Mumbai-style small arms attack.

"We are concerned these terrorists may seek to exploit the likely significant psychological impact of an attack targeting mass gatherings in large metropolitan areas during the 2010 holiday season, which has symbolic importance to many in the United States," The "Security Awareness for the Holiday Season" bulletin states.

The bulletin cites no specific threats for Christmas and New Year's, but makes clear that this year's enhanced concern is based on a persistent, evolving threat. The past 12 months brought multiple attempted attacks on U.S. targets, including the attempted Christmas Day underwear bombing of Northwest 253, Faisal Shahzad's failed Times Square car bomb, the "printer bomb" cargo plane plot and a number of alleged would-be bombers caught in stings in Oregon and elsewhere.

In response to the holiday alert, DHS and other federal law enforcement SWAT teams have begun rounding up "The Usual Suspects" in a pro-active move to prevent holiday attacks and bombings. Senior activity centers, VFW clubs and nursery schools have been the primary locations raided, as the DHS targets the same suspects as at airports, the elderly, particularly the disabled, military veterans, and small children. DHS has refused to comment on why these groups are dangerous, saying that disclosure of that information would compromise their intelligence sources and methods.

By the way, if you have some time to surf and Google, check out the DHS organization chart. I don't know if it's still blatantly on display, but we've got Arabs in very high positions in the US DHS. WTF?

No, I am not wearing a tinfoil hat and no, I don't mind having fluoride in my drinking water. But I do get suspicious about muslims defending me or NOT defending me from other muslims.

Buy much more ammo. Stay out of crowds
