Nothing To See Here, Citizens!

Since the marathon bombing in Boston, people have been on edge wandering if there were others involved. Well nothing like a stereotypical incident to cause concern. The story starts at a reservoir that supplies drinking water to 2.5 million residents in the Worchester, Massachusetts area. Seven people with ties to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Singapore, were caught trespassing at the Quabbin Reservoir.

The water was tested, even though the seven were only charged with trespassing. Now residents can relax and continue drinking the water. Normalcy returns to the people effected. Well so you would think.

In light of the Boston bombing and as far back as 9/11, water reservoirs have beefed up security. Now they have to turn it up a notch because of alleged fools who seem not to be following the rules. Since the male trespassers had said they were educated chemical engineers, people began to wonder what they were doing there.

Somehow I tend to be suspect of "coincidences" involving the 'what walks, quacks and swims like a duck is a chicken' crowd! A reservoir that supplies water to people. Seven people with ties to possible enemy countries trespassing. Five were chemical engineers. A damn in the area. No it does not mean they were up to no good. Otherwise the FBI would have found out immediately, much like it has never missed in the past!

Perhaps this was what it was. To most, an innocent misunderstanding. After all, no chemicals or explosives were found, that we know of.

On the other hand, maybe this was a way of testing the system. Maybe this wasn't the target, maybe they are seeking bigger fish. Maybe they wanted to see how far they could go. Funny they didn't say what the females were educated in. Either way you can't jump to conclusions. After all just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you!
