“The DS is scraping the bottom of the barrel.” They’re definitely using the “B” team. In laying pressure cooker bombs, they forgot the “bomb” part. You just can’t find good help these days. /S
JMO, but it depends on their goal.
If the purpose is to kill people, then it’s obviously a fail. But if they just want to cause chaos and disruption, it’s a win.
It could also be a test for a future operation. Maybe they were checking to see how long before the cookers were found, or how the authorities and/or public reacted.
Or maybe they just want to force us to expend resources. Every time we have to protect ourselves against yet another threat, it costs us. (TSA, safety seals on food/drugs, etc.) It costs us time. It costs us money. It costs us in terms of our sense of security, anxiety.
It would be so easy to terrorize people these days. Pressure cookers. . . just bawling out “alla snackbar” in a public place would be enough to cause a stampede.
Practice run, training exercise, or rehearsal.
You know, there could be some truth to this if the deep state is down to the snowflakes trying to plan these things.
