Ping. I'm going to go watch t.v. for a bit. After this I'm totally burnt out.
Agreed, but with this NSA tapping thing coming out, it sure looks like the NYT and their consipirator DEMS are out to subvert this President at ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Think the mail room at the Senate and House buildings were paranoid about anthrax... I laugh my ass off and fart in their general direction.
was this place being guarded?
That was my first reaction too. Hopefully "fret" is just the headline writer's sloppy choice of words, and not an accurate description of officials' reactions.
I would love that.
Yeah, this does make the Anthrax mail seem like a minor inconvienence. This is not good at all.
Did you notice this....
One hundred fifty pounds of c4, 250 pound deta sheet, and 2,000 blasting caps were taken from a Sandia Labs employee's company.
Supposedly it wasn't at Sandia Labs.....
"The missing deta sheet is what really worries me."
That's bad but the detonators are the worst. Reliable detonators are hard to make if you're some dipsh*t backyard terrorist. Any serious, connected, terrorist group can get all the explosives they want shipped up from our friend to the south Mexico.
Tim Veigh = Tim McVeigh
"Perhaps if there were consequences for their actions"
When's the last time you remember some bureaucrat getting his butt kicked for screwing up?
That's a very good point too. I'm usually pretty light hearted on these forums but this just isn't funny at all.
IIRC, shoebomber Reid had approximately 4 ounces in each of his shoes. So, half-a-pound could do signficant damage to an airliner.
At that rate, this amount could create 300 pairs of shoebombs.
And those explosive sheets could do all kinds of damage to unsuspecting persons.
Depends on how you define good.
Hmmmm. I can put together a reliable detonator fairly easily, Deta Sheets and C-4 are an entirely different animal....
"I'm just waiting for next attack so I can say "I told you so.""
Me too. If it happens prior to 2009, after 8 years of GOP dominance and Iraq, people will still try to blame it 100% on Willy Clintax!
the large theft from Cherry Enginering, a company owned by Chris Cherry, for decades the senior explosives scientist at Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico. Also, 2,500 detonators were missing from a storage explosive container, or magazine, in the name of Cherry Engineering.
Sounds like there were thefts both from Cherry Engineering's own premises, and from some storage facility where Cherry's explosives were among the items stored.
