A series of suspicious devices
January 31st, 2007
This may stand as the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard of all year. Perhaps Boston has to stay paranoid since letting those guys onto those jets 5 years ago. “Information at this time suggests that the devices found do not pose a threat to public safety”
Dude… I mean… just judging by places where things blow up all the time, the entire key is that they never look suspicious. Never. Ever. Not to mention the physical size of the devices, about the size of an LP record… how could this possibly pose a threat? There’s no way to shape the charge to do anything if it’s flat.
Did the Boston PD just not have their coffee or something? It sort of sounds like it in the interview. No one in “New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Austin, San Francisco or Philadelphia.” freaked out. I can just imagine the escalation of this through the ranks must’ve been the most hilarious series of unfortunately dumb events.
Am I supposed to feel safer because a police department can’t understand the difference between contemporary ‘guerrilla’ marketing and terrorism?
Remember right after 9/11 when someone put black boxes with “FEAR” written on them in the NYC subways as their freshman art project? It’s clear the outcome of that noncase that… the Boston PD has one organization to blame for this commuting mishap… themselves. As a note, he did get a community service sentence.
“This has taken a significant toll on our resources.” … Ah… so nutrageous.
And this too:
