Suspected Terror plot @ Gabreski thwarted

[Big Tim #70]

Can't find the link yet but just saw it on News 12.

Supposedly, some lady had been hanging around the airport over the last couple of weeks. Thursday, she was arrested for trespassing and when they searched her car, it had a bunch of weapons in it.

They think she may have been targeting the 106th.

This doesn't help the spotting... :(

One word: Ouch!

Sounds like a very isolated incident... What kind of weapons did they find on her?

Police find weapons in car of woman nabbed for trespassing at air base
A woman who police said had an XM-15 assault rifle, a shotgun, and 500 rounds of ammunition in her car was arrested and charged with trespassing after officials at the Air National Guard Base at Gabreski Airport called the Suffolk County Sherriff’s office to report that she was taking photographs on base property in Westhampton Thursday night.

Nancy Genovese, 49, of Lakewood Avenue in Quogue was charged with criminal trespass in the third degree, arraigned in Southampton Town Justice Court on Friday and is being held at the Suffolk County Correctional Facility in Riverhead on $50,000 bail.

This wasn’t the first time Ms. Genovese observed taking pictures of the base, according to the sheriff’s department. When Deputy Sheriff Robert Carlock arrived at the scene Thursday night, he was told by members of the Air National Guard that she had been warned for several weeks to stay off of the airport property. She had reportedly been seen several times taking pictures along the perimeter of the base. An off-duty Southampton Town Police officer recognized Ms. Genovese when she returned to the base Thursday night.

The U.S. Department of Justice’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Department of Homeland Security were notified by the sheriff’s department. Spokesmen for both agencies have announced that they will launch their own investigations.

Ms. Genovese is due in Southampton Justice Court again on August 7.

The blurb on News 12 totally made it sound like she was on the verge of doing something.

This is why I hate the media most times... :roll:

This is why we should be ok with police checks when they approach us, and be very cooperative.

Glad they got her.

According to her MySpace page she might have believed Gabreski was being transformed into a FEMA concentration camp. :roll:

Also, she is a big Glenn Beck fan. (Though from my understanding Glenn Beck has debunked the FEMA conspiracy on his show).

And stay out! :evil:

I am driving right past FOK in an hour or so. Should I stop by and grab a few shots?
