Tenet calls for Internet security
By Shaun Waterman
UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL
http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20041201-114750-6381r.htm
The former CIA director said telecommunications—and specifically the Internet—are a back door through which terrorists and other enemies of the United States could attack the country, even though great strides have been made in securing the physical infrastructure.
The Internet “represents a potential Achilles’ heel for our financial stability and physical security if the networks we are creating are not protected,” Mr. Tenet said.
He said known adversaries, including “intelligence services, military organizations and non-state actors,” are researching information attacks against the United States.
Access to networks like the World Wide Web might need to be limited to those who can show they take security seriously, he said.
16:33pm
Gonna head soon. It's getting cold, dark round these parts - and I'm hungry...
16:31pm
Lights are being erected and connected. All Herc crew now in civvie gear...
White transit van with red swoosh and 'AC Travel' on the side is taking the crew.
FBO (handling company) van arrived.
APO van still garding.
So are gardai and army...
16:20pm
Airport police van 19 at Herc. Crew putting out luggage. There are generators and lights next to plane so it will be lit up later.
No more Dubsky's sneaking up to Hercs in the dark, eh?
16:15pm
Just saw Herc crew member who has changed out of uniform and into civilian gear, jeans and leather jacket
16:20pm
The APO patrol car has sent the bored APO in the van off to do a patrol. Now guy in car babysitting me.
16:07pm
Another Airport police vehicle came down. 1st guy has gone back to talk to guy in APO patrol car (his boss)
16:01pm
I think the Herc is gonna stay the night. Crew taking off their bags and garda helicopter is hovering above it.
15:51pm
The APO still watching me is in danger of dozing off. He's been there on his own for ages doing nothing.

15:39pm
Herc crew: One is making plane ready to go. Another two are bidding farwell to sentries....
15:36pm
There's a crew member on top of Herc walking across wing.
He did a quick inspection of engines.
Now packing away his gear.
15:34pm
Can you google the reg of these planes?
RA 820177 and N534MC and the Herc.
The Herc markings are sanded off.
Can only tell it had Canadian markings because of my scope.
15:30pm
Most of Herc crew are outside the plane looking up at engines...
15:26pm
The Herc just started his engines and then shut them down again.
15:21pm
Garda helicopter airborne. Heading towards Limerick i'd guess.
[indy note: thanks LG for info help]
The above picture is a Steyr 9mmTMP[tacktishe Machine Pistole] tactial machine pistol.It is NOT used by the Irish army.They use a Steyr 5.56AUG[armee universal geweher] army universal gun.It is green and has the magazine behind the trigger,very distinctive looking gun.Funnily enough made by a "neutral" country and supplied to third world countries with no great human rights records either.
BTW your "faded" aircraft symbols are done so deliberatly.There is no point in doing a cammo job and then ruining it with a bright Star and bar or red maple leaf or whatever.
15:15pm
Hercules has finished refueling. Truck leaves.
3rd Irish trooper (jeep driver, older guy) has left jeep with his rifle and is walking arounf the plane.
2nd garda now with two youngerIrish soldiers at the front of the aircraft.
[indy note: don't know the answer to above question, more details later]

Steyr
15:01pm
FBO van just left the Herc.
Garda talking to Irish soldiers who are standing at front of Herc with their Steyr automatic rifles
14:56pm
Refueling truck at Hercules.
The 747 is being towed toward gate 42.
Looks like he's not leaving then...
14:46pm
Now the unmarked 747 is leaving cargo terminal. No sign of cargo on or off the plane.
Suspect it to be owned by Atlas Air who have contract to move military cargo.
14:41pm
ATA just took off.
Gardai have now left me.
14:37pm
AM TRAM 4095 ready to go.
Garda car with three gardai has joined APO van watching me (60-80 feet away)
14:29pm
There's an Irish Army jeep behind the Hercules.
ATA Tristar preparing to leave.
The Tristar was at gate 42 (the enclosed military stand with Gardai and the airport police garding it).
The Hercules C-130 crew also look like preparing to go.
14:09pm
Antonov marking word 'flight' looks more like 'FLIONT'
