Well that's interesting and a bit worrisome.

[MestaMachine]

Just sitting out there all by its lonesome. Really?

[Amberdawn]

I’ll say. I hope they find it...INTACT.

[Cyber Liberty]

Huh. Why does the Forest Service have that kind of muscle? That’s a lot of tree-trunks to blow up.

[coloradan]

How much holy hell would the f-troop rain upon a private citizen who failed to secure legally possessed explosives? Now, how about if the owner was a federal agency? Ahhh, sovereign immunity ... smells like victory.

[Marcella]

Remind me not to go where there are large crowds until the explosives are found and locked up.

[TigersEye]

I'm not sure I trust your source on this. /s ;^)

[Doc91678]

Is that Red Lodge Montana?

[Forty-Niner]

The Boston Marathon is just the start of a terror campaign against our civilian population. Bombings of malls etc. will become routine.....

[smokingfrog]

That’s a lot of ‘splosive.

[Doc91678]

Hmm..., That’s about 270 plus IED’s in pressure cookers? Will the ATF be able to find the perps any better than they found the guns of Fast N’ Furious?

[dadfly]

wow. i guess i’ll be avoiding big crowds.

[Mortrey]

Hmmm...and Benghazi testimony on the 8th of May.

MUST HAVE DISTRACTION.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Blowing beaver dams, log jams?

[Right Wing Assault]

When will Big Sister start buying up the total explosive production of the world and stockpiling it?

[wrench]

Most problems can be solved with the appropriate explosive charge.

NEWS FLASH!

Investigators found a fresh pile of bear poop near the door of the storage facility. Tests proved it was the poop of Smokey Bear who recently changed his religion to Islam.

All points bulletins have been issued.
