- Jeff,
-
- Read this real carefully (it's short).
-
- If this doesn't have you scratching your head and saying,
"what the f*** ?!" - then read it again.
-
- How is it that one can be a foreign national engaged
in what can only be described as spying out the land, fail to produce a
passport or visa, and then be LET GO by the FBI -- oh, yeah -- after showing
them an Arizona driver's license with an Arkansas address !!!
-
- Maybe if you're an Israeli spy...

- JAY - A man responsible for the closing of a state highway
in Delaware County for three hours is familiar to the FBI, Undersheriff
Dale Eberle said Monday.
-
- A two-mile stretch of State Highway 20, east of Jay,
was closed Saturday while an Oklahoma Highway Patrol bomb squad searched
the man's car. Authorities had received a report of "possible terrorist
activities."
-
- The FBI office in Tulsa was notified, and agents were
called to interview the man. He was released after being held for seven
hours. The driver, who identified himself as Israeli, was unable to show
a passport or visa.
-
- Eberle declined to identify the man since no arrest was
made. The FBI received "some hits on his name and said they had dealt
with him before," he said.
-
- The man, approximately 40 years old, is married to a
U.S. citizen, Eberle said. He did show an Arizona driver's license with
a Gentry, Ark., address.
-
- Saturday, the Delaware County sheriff's office received
a report that a man stopped at a convenience store near Jay and was asking
directions to Oklahoma. He was driving a car with what appeared to be pipe
bomb attached to the roof.
-
- Eberle said the "pipe bomb" was a video camera
inside tubes taking pictures of the area's surroundings. The highway patrol
determined the pipes did not contain explosives, he said.
-
- "Our concern was for the Pensacola Dam and the two
watersheds that feed Tulsa," Eberle said.
-
- Eberle said authorities reviewed the videotape, which
showed the surroundings from different angles. The video showed nothing
specific, he said.
-
- An inventory of the car showed recording devices and
tools, Eberle said.
-
- Eberle said the man was in Jay last week asking questions
about the community's industry. He also ate at a local diner, but he refused
to use a metal fork or a glass because he didn't want to leave his fingerprints,
he said.
