Container from Pakistan. Hmmmm.
Was supposed to be full of "oily rags" -- who ships "oily rags" in 41-foot containers?

The container was supposed to hold oily rags but inspectors found objects that were not on the inventory...

Geez - that alone sounds dangerous.

Never underestimate the power of an oily rag.

I thought that was what you WERE supposed to do with oily rags - put them in metal containers. I guess ol' Muhamaoud just got a little carried away!

(Seeing as I'm about 10 miles downwind - I hope this is nothing!).

Well, since it's a shipping container, I'll take it seriously and be watchful.

Unlike most of these stories, which end up being a salami sandwich in a briefcase, this one could possible be the real deal.

Oily ragheads would be even more dangerous.

Nobody is probing security response. The regular crowd will shuffle in momentarily, to dismiss early reports.

Perhaps "oily rags" is an un-PC term one of the cops used?
