probably not the best time to try and do something like this...these guys aren't gonna get past the third ring of security...

the majority of Americans (when we include nonvoters) hate the chimp

If you had an opinion and didn't vote, you're the chimp.

The air traffic interference on the other hand, that may even fall under the Patriot Act.

Isn't that a danger to the jets?

Sure would be a pity if Secret Service thought those eggs were hand grenades and responded appropriately.

How hard is it to paint a small hand grenade white? There do exist such miniature grenades (or they could be manufactured by a few dedicated people), right?

I wonder if there won't be a few real attacks mixed in with the fakes, in order to create chaos. The grenades would not be thrown at Bush (too hard) but at ordinary Republicans celebrating the inauguration.

If I was in al-Qaida, that's exactly what I would do. It would be awesome. Republicans would be dead, hippies would be blamed first, then al-Qaida, then the hippies would say we were really CIA agents as part of a master plan related to the "crushing of dissent." When the public turned away from the protesters, they would become even more radical. And al-Qaida would be free to mess with them next. Blowing up some protesters would convince them that Bush was behind the attacks, driving them to carry out attacks on Republicans. If it was all played right, it would get pretty ugly. There are at least tens of thousands of radicals in this country who, given the right circumstances, could carry out terror attacks on the rest of us. All al-Qaida has to do is play with hippie delusions.

The Secret Service should shoot anyone carrying out or simulating a terrorist attack. If it can't tell the difference, that's just too bad for the perpetrator, right?

I did a Whois search on buckfush.com (which originated the attempt to interfere with the aviation with their reflective balloons), but some, if not all, of the names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, that turned up are phony. To the extent that any are real persons, corporations, addresses, phone nos, etc, they may well be GOP entities.

The true owner of the buckfush.com website, not only is threatening aviation, but has previously hassled our troops in Afghanistan using a phony address that was a local GOP headquarters. Click here to see that story on Blackfire blog.

Just to clarify my first paragraph, the leftists may be falsly listing GOP contact info for their web domain registration as they falsly listed a GOP address for their outrageous attempt to demoralize troops as described in the link of my second paragraph.

The swiss have been manufacturing small, egg shaped and sized Fragmentation and "Flash Bang" grenades for about 30 years now, xm177e2.

Overall, this is not a very well thought out "plan". Since Microwave radiation will go straight through a Mylar balloon without receiving a bounce-back.

And anyone stupid enough to cock back an arm attached to an empty or filled fist is asking for at least a Beat Down. Or an assortment of high and low velocity rounds puncturing the ugly bag of mostly water.

Obviously unaware that all the cops have to inspect all bags and totes while performing a "Dynamic" Slap-Pat-down on all pockets of people along the sidewalk and in the bleachers.

I suggest water cannons primed with veterinary shampoo.

How long before terrorists piggyback off the foolish antics of these morons?
