It looks like a litebrite
But it calls into a bigger question that if we have spent billions and billions on these major cities for homeland security and they cannot tell the difference between a litebite and a bomb, wheres the money really going? One portable bomb sniffing device or a bomb sniffing dog should have enlightened him. Also these were up and inplace for days and they just now notice them?
Exactly. It's interesting that they were in all these cities, and yet only in John F. Kerry's "terrorism = nuisance" city they got worried about possible terrorist act.
BTW, I wouldn't underestimate this to capture attention of jihadists - they've been trying to "immunize" us (like recent "airplane imams" trial run) from paying attention to this kind of stuff.
What you're seeing is what you get for your money when you give it to government government takes it.
Have you met what is graduating from the police accademy these days?
The thin blue line is a very much us vs them mentality.
The good first line of defense cop is the exception not the rule.
Plus, do you really want those mental midgets distinguishing between a lite brite and a bomb?
