"Look, if someone thinks something might be a bomb, it's time to call in an expert."
So if someone thinks it's a bomb, and the experts are called in, and the "leaders" panic, is the person who left / put the item there in the first place supposed to be arrested / charged because they couldn't fathom someone being so stupid as to freak out at random objects?
I guess the terrorists have won. They've removed the ability of millions of people to think rationally.
Of course, this was in boston, so it isn't that much of a task.
The dynamic is part of the cultural wars. The Liberal socialist whackos think it is funny to beard the police and bomb disposal teams, because they don't take the Islamofascists seriously.
As far as I am concerned its like the kid in school who pulls the fire alarm, just to sit back and watch the engines, firemen, and police arrive, and get time out of class.
There is no difference betweeen these two, both are juvenile activities with risk associated with them for responders.
In addition, intelligence is available as I have stated before, to the Islamofascist enemy.
Now a bomb will have to go off in a City, before anyone will take a threat seriously.That is the price for crying wolf.
They then beat him to the floor and took away what turned out to be a bomb.
So, what were you saying? Something about terrorists "winning" ~ not when we take away their bombs.
Good on the folks in Boston. Least that advertising company could have done was pay for their permit before they started hanging strange things with batteries and wires from the bottoms of bridges.
