One of the devices exploded, injuring the custodian who found them inside a plastic bag. Two others were detonated by a bomb squad.

The custodian found the three devices about 9 a.m. in a plastic-type garbage bag, Moss said. When he picked up the bag, one exploded, as it was designed to do when handled. The explosives were made up of chemicals placed inside plastic bottles and could have seriously injured someone, officials said. Numerous agencies were on the Georgia Tech campus to search for suspects.

Powerful stuff indeed. The custodian picks it up, it explodes, and he gets ringing in his ears? What were the 'terrorists' trying to do? Send a message by making everyone temporarily deaf? Could heavy metal bands being working in cohoots with the terrorists then?!?

I had a teacher in high school that taught us how to make explosives at home (I know fun for the whole family). We'd put it in Mason jars and explode it from a distance. Usually a long fuse or radio control (much the same way you'd fire off one of those model rockets). That's not a 'typical' college or high school prank. Am I now a terrorist?

I think you need to quit looking behind every corner for any little thing out of the ordinary. And I'd stop watching Fox. Talk about blowing something out of proportion. I can just imagine that idiot Hannity devoting 20 minutes to terrorists in GA tonight

Astute question. Because terrorists always accomplish everything they set out to do.
