    Default Dirty Bomb in SC?

    MOUNT PLEASANT, SC (WCSC) -
    Officials with the Coast Guard say a person is now being questioned by authorities about a potential threat at the Wando Terminal Wednesday night.

    Coast Guard officials confirmed Thursday morning via Twitter four containers had been scanned and cleared. Fourteen agents with radiation detection technology investigated these containers and found no signs of radiation, officials said.

    Officials have not yet released details about the person being questioned, but described the person as the "original source" of the threat in their tweet.

    The terminal will be reopened Thursday morning and a safety zone has been lifted.

    Coast Guard officials say the FBI was called in to investigate a report of a "dirty bomb" aboard a vessel. A dirty bomb is composed of conventional explosives and radioactive material.

    The potential threat had been reported at approximately 8 p.m. Wednesday involving a container aboard the vessel Maersk Memphis, according to a Coast Guard report.

    "The Maersk Memphis is currently moored at Charleston's Wando terminal which has been evacuated while bomb detection units from federal, state and local law enforcement agencies investigate the threat," Coast Guard officials said.

    The Coast Guard says a unified command was established to oversee the coordinated response. Agencies that responded include the Coast Guard, FBI, South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, Mount Pleasant Police, Mount Pleasant Fire, Charleston County Sheriff's Office, Charleston Port Authority, National Guard, SLED as well as Hazmat and EMS crews.

    Workers said they were told to leave the terminal around 9 p.m.

    Boaters say they were also escorted off the water due to the situation.

    reminds me of the time someone saw an unattended book bag in five points and they called in the robot to diffuse the "bomb" and you assholes called me an asshole bc I thought it was stupid and everyone would start reporting every unattended book bag. Turns out I was right. It was just a book bag.

    the internet and facepage will be the death of this society....at least what I think composes a "society". I miss handwritten thank you notes, phone calls where you talk to people, kids with imaginations, and neighborhoods.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    That's not why I call you an asshole. I call you an asshole because you are an asshole and I've heard you say it yourself.

    You're an asshole but you are our asshole. (That didn't sound right did it?)
    The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.
