Seems like they could check on who bought three or more pressure cookers at one time in the Boston area over the last few months.

Col. David Hunt was on with Howie Carr. His sources say this is not true. He also said two men who are Persons of Interest were taken off a plane at Logan and were yelling in Arabic.

Ban 15 quart pressure cookers! You don't need more than 8 quarts, unless you're up to no good.

We shouldn't expect the US news media to enlighten us, at least until every other news organization on the planet knows what the facts are.

Our journalists are borderline illiterate, apparently, and are pathetically lacking in critical thinking skills.

Seal off the over pressure port, add dry ice and a couple packs of hand warmers. The packets you knead to create a chemical heat, have to be specific as some people do not know what heat packets are, and then you get the all concerned types who start ranting oh great now the terrorists will try that.

They already know how, its just a matter of where and when, best to just profile wherever you go.

Those bombs were made of decades of liberal policies.

“Its high time we had back round checks on people buying pressure cookers and limit their size!”

Oh, crap, I have a fine one stored in a plastic bag. It’s a good thing I got that door mat that reads, “COME BACK WITH A WARRANT”. If I see a Homeland Security brownshirt come to my door and leave, I’ll bury the pressure cooker in the back yard before he/they get back with a warrant.
