FBI won't take the tube?

"In November," reports Salon's War Room, [Michael] Isikoff and Mark Hosenball wrote a piece for Newsweek in which they said that U.S. law enforcement officials were extremely concerned about 'evidence regarding possible active Al Qaeda plots to attack targets in Britain'."
How worried were law enforcement types? This worried: "According to a U.S. government official," Isikoff and Hosenball wrote, "fears of terror attacks have prompted FBI agents based in the U.S. Embassy in London to avoid traveling on London's popular underground railway (or tube) system, which is used daily by millions of commuters. While embassy-based officers of the U.S. Secret Service, Immigration and Customs bureaus and the CIA still are believed to use the underground to go about their business, FBI agents have been known to turn up late to cross-town meetings because they insist on using taxis in London's traffic-choked business center."

And remember when Buttie went to England and destroyed the Queen's roses a couple years ago? They demanded (but were refused) to have the tube shut down while he was there.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
