in this post 9-11 world it is ridiculous that this firm would not have thought this through. I was listening to foxnews in my car before the cartoon aspect was known and the factor that they were fixating on was WHERE the objects were placed-- a medical center, bridges, roadways, in other words INFRASTRUCTURE. in a post 9-11 world, is it a good idea to dismiss out of hand, objects that are out of place just because of harmless they look?

Yup, yup, and yup.

The authorities in Boston were caught in a "you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't"-sort of situation, so they chose to over-react . . . because if they chose to under-react, and this turned out not to be some sort of lame "guerilla marketing" operation, people might have gotten hurt or killed. And you can be damned sure the Musselmen were paying attention to all of this, too.

I certainly hope Turner gets slapped bigtime for this.

"..a medical center, bridges, roadways, in other words INFRASTRUCTURE"

Places where bills are frequently posted.
