“Harvard” is all in on this conspiracy.

Time to neutralize that institution.

I trust authorities verified that muzzie dirtbag Ellison’s clock was cleaned ... of any explosive elements.

1) It was not a homemade clock

2) It looked like a bomb

And:

3) It was suspected of being a “hoax bomb” - they did not investigate him for bringing and actual bomb - that is a false narrative.

That is no suitcase bomb. If that's a suitcase bomb, where is the explosive? Hint: a safe distance away (if anywhere)!

Didn't IndigoRed get banned a while back? Might this Twitterer be the same twit?

And don't you love the luggage tags? American Airlines Advantage Executive Premium!

That photo was part of a blog post by one Thomas Hartman recounting his 2007 trip to Malta to attend the Honeywell EMEA Partner of Choice Meeting. He remarked that he was "happy I didn't bring the Honeywell demo kit with me it since it is full of electronics and switches and I'm sure it would have raised some questions."

That little gray label to the left of the magnetic latch raises the question exactly what the kit is supposed to demo. It reads CHARGE DEMOLITION M112 along with a lot number and a date (2006). What is M112? Well, the "M112 block demolition charge consists of 1.25 pounds of C4 packed in a Mylar-film container with a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape on one surface." Hmm.

Does anyone know if Honeywell makes building demolition gear? To "implode" a building, you place charges on all its key supports. Then you fire them in a precise sequence designed to get the building to fall in on itself and make a nice pile of rubble to haul away. Perhaps, controlling that process is what all that fancy circuitry is for.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Just what does this thing demonstrate?

I'm now thinking the suitcase has nothing to do with explosives, but that its owner added the M112 reference as a humorous Easter egg to be found by folks clicking the thumbnail he provided in his blog post. The little yellow-on-gray strip looks out of place next to the magnetic latch and under the lid (the purpose of the magnetic latch is to hold the lid in place over the electronics — the case itself has its own latches). Perhaps he photoshopped it. Perhaps he got it off a real M112 he somehow had access to.

The blogger, Thomas Hartman, did work for Novell in 2007 as their Global Strategic Partner Executive. Among those strategic partners was Honeywell. And his blog post was about a trip to a Honeywell event in Europe.

Exactly what the suitcase is supposed to do is unclear. However, building security and management is among their product lines, so perhaps it has to do with that.

I couldn't find anything about a Honeywell controlled-demolition product. So, so much for that theory. Speaking of demolitions, there was good one in Irving a few years ago. Here's how it looked from the inside:

And from the outside:

I wonder if little Ahmed was among the spectators.

The text is Photoshopped onto the image. I actually located the specific circuit boards shown in the suitcase, but the links are on my home computer. I will post them when I get home.

It’s not a bomb. The Photoshopped text on there is just as legitimate as the “African” on Obama’s BC.

Here you go:

Your so-called "suitcase bomb" looks like this:

The circuit boards inside are variants of these two:





It ain't a bomb.

A little further info: the boards in question are components of Honeywell alarm systems.

I replied. Awaiting your comment, now that I’ve gone through the trouble of posting pictures of alarm system control boards...
