First reports are all over the place. Reports that all crossings are shut down. Very early so who knows.

I was going to say an explosion could have simply been a car fire where the fuel tank exploded, but that does not look to be very likely.

Would not be a surprise if it was a case of premature jihadation.

From listening to the scanner, the FBI is already on scene and more on the way.

Guarantee they were stopped for suspicion and the bomber blew it up before they were caught.

So CBS was warning about a possible terrace attack a day or two ago.

Why not come through the southern border? Terrorist's are not smart.

A couple of months ago, I had work travel in Toronto followed by a family wedding in Buffalo. I came across the Rainbow Bridge on my way back into the US. On both sides, the agents seemed more interested in telling me to have a nice day than asking for identification. Totally anecdotal, but it seemed like a WAYYYYY softer target than any of the southern crossings I've ever seen.

I remember when I'd travel to Ottawa. You'd get in the airport to leave and everyone is dressed like SWAT on the Canadian side...you'd go through security and then go into the area to show your passport to the American TSA guy...who was dressed like Barney Fife

I always wanted to ask to see the bullet.

If this were a Rep admin in the W.H. the news would already be lambasting them for not stopping it before it started.

But since its a Dem this will barely make a blip in the MSM and will be brushed aside within 2 days by a story of some poor transgender male not being allowed to play on an all female soccer team.

Wonder if they just loaded up the vehicle with a bunch of gas cans, then rammed the booth

Not really. Everyone would think southern border but leave the northern border complacent.

Fox reporting local law enforcement says it was an attempted terrorist attack, car had 'large amount' of explosives, and the car was going from the US into Canada...

I dont disagree, but I was thinking if it is certain groups behind it, they would want more dead and carnage.

Border crossing was probably not the target.

Transiting of our borders is a national security concern. The government of the United States and it's people have a right to know who is transiting our borders and for what purposes they are doing so.

Wait, from the US into Canada? Not the other way around?

They just said conflicting info. Going to Canada from US is EZ pass lane.

It's a long, straight shot with one drop arm barrier keeping traffic from a very busy tourist area. When I drove through at 5pm on a Friday afternoon, there were maybe 2 cars in line. If you watch and time it right, I can see how someone could expect to pick up a head of steam and end up in an area surrounded by a ton of vulnerable people.
