In the first pic in the upper left, that is a pencil next to the "harmless little circuit board with harmless wires" and "little bags".

It appears to be AT MOST 1/2 the size of the "harmless cartoon advertisements" found today.

The plastic thing laying on top of the armrest, is a garage door opener, about the size of a pack of regular size cigarettes, which gives a perspective to the realatively SMALL size of this IED, compared to your "harmless" cartoon "advertisement".

So as long as someone takes the plastic explosive, and shapes it into a cartoon figure with a few LED "Brite-Lites" that is "hip" and recognizable to people like you,( which CAN be done )you would IMEDIATELY think it's "OK" because it's just a "harmless advertisement".........

YOU TWO are the ones who "don't get it".

Yeah you're right, explosives can be hidden in almost anything.

So, the logical conclusion is to knock down all buildings, and bulldoze the entire city completely flat so that anything suspicious will stand out.

And you'll have to put the people somewhere else too. Simply making them go naked won't work, since they might carry illegal things in their behinds.

That's NOT what it was. But you can imagine whatever you want.

Let me ask you, though -- why monger fear, when what is more needed is common sense.

Thanks Musicman. You know, those two would not survive long in Iraq. They would just drive right up to the IEDs and yell: " Cartoonies!" as the IEDs are touched off on their ragged a$$es!

mm, don't you think the little packages of ammönium nitrate are the most important part of a bömb. Don't you think an expert is trained to know when the "package" is missing the explòsive?
