LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- The FBI has issued an alert to 350 law enforcement agencies in the southwest and Salt Lake City for potential Valentine teddy bear bombs after a suspicious transaction at a Wal-Mart last month.

Law enforcement sources said authorities also were on the alert at airports in case the suspected bear-bombs might be carried onto airplanes on Valentine's Day.

Hey!! Not only were my EARS burning....!

Help guys, can't handle this one. Gotta get in the shower and there isn't even an airport evacuation taking place anywhere.

This deserves its own thread.

The picture of the bear shown here differs somewhat from another picture regarding this subject. The other picture was of a teddy bear with red ears and red on the bottom of the feet with a heart on teddy's chest reading "I love you." Just curious to know why I've seen two different pictures. It's obvious we all must stay alert and notify authorities of any suspicious behavior.

It's obvious we all must stay alert and notify authorities of any suspicious behavior.

If the bear bends and faces east five times per day, that's your first clue.

He paid cash at Wal-Mart? I always get behind the woman who waits until her entire order is rung up before fumbling around in her purse for her check book. Then has to ask to borrow a pen after more fumbling in the purse. Then after writing the check, more fumbling around for ID. Then more waiting while the clerk calls the manager because the register won't accept the check. Then I change lanes and get behind the guy buying a shopping cart full of canned dog food and trying to pay with an expired credit card.

Remember the terrorist who told the flight instructor he didn't need to learn how to land??? I dont' think they are all the intelligent.

Box of candy........................$10.00

Sappy greeting card..................$2.99

Singing Valentine's Day telegram....$89.00

Exploding teddy bear that blasts the ex-wife into an impressionist painting on her living room wall....PRICELESS!

"Someone set us up the bear."

All your bear are belong to us.

You're funny. Here in the DC area, you can see the cabbies out on the streets doing just that five times a day.

I'd like to see any red-blooded American male turn away THAT teddy

Now where in THAT teddy is she hiding the propane? Hmmmmm???
