"During the Russo-Afghan war the Russians supposedly dropped small contact bomblets made to look like toys.

They were designed to appeal to children.

Supposedly we dropped bright yellow "cluster bombs" ~ and children took the bomblets to be toys."

So we should panic at any item anywhere that we can't identify as not a bomb?

Maybe we need a government mandated program to inspect everything first to make sure it's not a bomb. Then it could receive an official "not a bomb" sticker to make everyone feel safe.

Of course, terrorists could just counterfeit those stickers and put them on real bombs, giving people a false sense of security before they attack.

I guess we're screwed either way.

Look, if someone thinks something might be a bomb, it's time to call in an expert.

Ted Turner, if he even knew about this advertising promotion, probably didn't care if bombs were used or not ~ but he's creazy isn't he!
