"...improvised explosive device ..."

Eight syllables to say "bomb".

But bomb doesn't evoke images of Muslims and further necessitate protection from Big Sis.

I read the article ... technically, a pipe bomb is an IED.

Technically.

It's hardly in the same category as the nasty devices that the bad guys in jihadistan build.

FYI, this is the town where VA Tech is.

I hope this isn’t another case of a student losing his marbles...

There’s lots of ‘ordinance’ over there to make these nasty things with. Not so much layin’ around in the US that isn’t accounted.

Nothing new about IEDs. They are known as 'car bombs' or simply 'bombs.'
Organized, and also unorganized, crime has been putting them to use for quite a number of decades.

There will be more and more news about domestic IEDs.

There will then be new measures, new devices, and new TSA presences all over the place implemented by Big Sis to keep us safe. With all the IED news, becoming even more of a police state will seem like the prudent thing to do.

The IED news is just more false flag stuff to justify the takeover.

I remember a WARNER BROS cartoon in which a very fat PROKY PIG thwarts a MAD BOMBER!

Here’s a picture of the guy who did it. Scary looking white boy

Yup. How convienient! When I saw that, I had a feeling we'd start to see the press talking this up.

... which is EXHIBIT A in the evidence that this is a false-flag operation, probably done by the ATF. First, they have the lapdog media write an article about the dangers of something, then they carry out an terrorist operation designed to encourage the sentiment of "oh, big government, please, take more power and protect us sheep from the scary thing!"

I think we will see much more of this as we approach the election.
