LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- The FBI has issued an alert to 350 law enforcement agencies in the southwest and Salt Lake City for potential Valentine teddy bear bombs after a suspicious transaction at a Wal-Mart last month.

Law enforcement sources said authorities also were on the alert at airports in case the suspected bear-bombs might be carried onto airplanes on Valentine's Day.

WalMart ~ for all your terrorist needs!

You jest, but there is all sorts of high energy nasty stuff at WalMart. Fertilzer from lawn and garden, plus coleman fuel from sporting goods, or lamp oil from L&G, or gasoline now that many WalMarts sell petrol. Let's see what could one buy to set it off? How about a smokeless powder from ammunition from sporting goods, an alarm clock or watch with alarm function, batteries from electronics, and a light bulb from wherever they keep the little ones designed for flashlights, or just buy a cheapie flashlight, (bulb is for the filament, break the glass) (A model rocket motor and starter would be better, but I don't know that most WalMarts would carry those)

Some funny bear humor here, thought you might enjoy. :-)

I don't know nuthin' 'bout no bears.

Except you, fuzzy. LOL

[ST.LOUIE1]

Here is one bear they darn well better not mess with. :-)

And who might that handsome bear be? Hmmmm? : )

[Salman]

Why do these freaks think this will alter our foreign policy??

I don't think they do. The idea is simply to kill as many of the enemy as possible (American civilians, that is).

What did you do to your hairdo??

The cabbies aren't praying. They're kissing the ground after a number of near-death close calls on the mean streets of D.C......

I absolutely defend the right to keep and arm bears.

The terrorist bear purchaser, however, forget to get the guns to go along with the ammo... about 5 or 6 would have been enough. The propane, though--could he be making flamethrowers for them? Are flamethrowers constitutionally sanctioned armament for bears?

I say that myself at least once a day, and yet the next day there always seems to be something to top the previous day.. :: shaking head :::

[TxBec]

ya mean a Bearka?

The last time it was holloween candy.

All "those people" we're not supposed to be profiling are heard to say, "All your holidays are belong to us."

[smith288]

They have no self esteem. Islam is retarded in my book.

[oceanperch]

Sounds like an innocent hunting/camping trip. Just not sure where the bear fetish fits in.

"This entire country has lost it's mind."

I certainly agree.
We pay these guys HOW MUCH to come up with crap like this?
And it only took them 3 weeks to get the word out after they decided that exploding teddy bear bombs are a serious threat?
(Anyone ever try to get a can of propane to explode? It ain't that easy folks)
You know who is rotfltao? It's any terrorists who are out there watching this charade.
Exploding teddy bears...that rates up there with confiscating nail clippers...
