The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information that leads to the recovery.

A contracting company reported the theft Monday, the Lebanon Daily News reported. The missing explosives include 640 pounds of dynamite and 400 blasting caps, the report said. A blasting cap is used to trigger an explosive device.

I’m sure the FBI will get right on it once they are done interviewing the Ukrainian Transvestite who once talked to someone who could point to Russia on a map.

This is a big deal. Worksite storage of HE/initiating systems is not more than CONEX steel container with a padlock.

You’d figure....

Taking school shootings to a new level. Think Bath School 1927.

“...640 pounds of high explosives...”

It shouldn’t be that hard to find Michael Moore. Just call his press secretary.

ATF requires a bit more than that for mobile storage magazines. I'm thinking inside job/union members/ROP?

Sixty years ago in the Rocky Mountains and oil fields, the schools constantly had assemblies warning kids of the dangers of BLASTING CAPS and dynamite.

Back in the summer of 1961, a teen in Carlsbad NM found a stick of dynamite and set it off at the local high school. We were just a block away. Talk about a BOOM and suddenly the streets were filled with cars rushing to the scene. He was caught. We all knew him.

That must really tick off the fbi. To have to take their precious time digging for dirt on the President, and have to deal with petty crime. That’s not the explosive evidence they’re looking for.

The ATF is probably offering the reward to the thief.

640 blasting caps

That magnifies the importance of the theft. Can’t the blasting caps be used to set off home made Ammonium nitrate Fuel oil explosions?

When paired with the article over at the Washington Free Beacon about Iranian sleeper cells hibernating in the U.S., Hezbollah’s growing presence in Mexico, this doesn’t make for a good night’s sleep.

This is local-ish to me. There is quite a bit of local resistance and activism in reaction to this pipeline.

Not impossible the activists took it.

Just as an aside, here in Central Florida we received an invitation to an ATF Party.

Invitation suggested - BYOBGF - Bring your own bottle, guns and fireworks.

Today I saw a clip of what high explosive grenades can do. Authorities need to find this stuff quick.
