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.

This might have a positive side to it. Does this mean that I get a "bye" on getting the wife Valentines stuff tomorrow? I'd hate to spend $90 at Godiva for exploding chocolates. Maybe I'll get away with it.

Then again, probably not.

I thought this was going to be a satire. Silly me.

Middle-eastern descent, eh? Hey, watch out--that's racial profiling.

The FBI said a clean-shaven male, possibly of Middle Eastern descent, purchased nine Valentine teddy bears, 20 inches tall, and 14 canisters of propane, 9 inches tall, small enough to fit inside the teddy bears. The man also bought 12 packets of BBs.

That's a horrible use for propane and propane accessories.

Beware if you buy a teddy bear and if weighs 3 lbs. and has a hard center when you pick it up.

He paid in cash on January 15 at the Wal-Mart in Valencia, California, about 25 miles north of Los Angeles. He left in a white GMC or Chevrolet delivery truck.

FBI spokesman Matthew McLaughlin said authorities were notified February 4.


It took nearly 3 weeks for someone to consider stuffed bears, propane tanks and BB's a potential danger?

happens! Nya, Nya, Nya!"

350 teddy bears can become 350 dead American children.
