A man is under arrest in Washington after an improvised explosive device, a rifle and some ammunition were allegedly found in his jeep, Capitol Police said Friday.
The man stopped to ask police for directions near the Capitol building at about 11 a.m. EDT Friday, at the intersection of 2nd and Independence Avenue Southeast, according to Capitol Police spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider.
The officer responding noticed a rifle case on the car seat and inspected the jeep, discovering the IED, rifle and ammunition. A canine unit was enlisted to help.

Well when you consider that a box of 12 gauge #8 shotgun shells can pass for an "IED" to your average DC News Media moron, I can probably be stopped in the same circumstances about 5 or 6 days a month. (In fact I have about a case of shells in my car right now)
The part I love is that while he may have been a "death to america" terrorist, at least he stored his rifle properly for transportation.

He sounds like a lefty wuss. No REAL man would stop and ask for directions.

That sign was right next to the “Yes We Can” sticker.
