Moreover, the military is saying today, Tuesday the 18th, that the shells might not be well marked. Meaning many shells thought to be just high explosive could contain this stuff and be mixed in with the HE rounds!!! That is a nightmare as it is stored with regular stuff and if that stuff is taken out and blown up to get rid of it, you could also release all these posions! It is there. Now we know it may be UNMARKED!!!!!!!!!!

I'm guessing the weight of the shells should be significantly different, we may need to weigh them before destroying them.

You can bet your bottom dollar the EOD guys have this one figured out. They now know they have to be just that more precise in their assessments of the IEDs before disposing of them.
