i had the 60’s & 70’s. I was born in 55.

LOL! From the other posts you must be right, too long to be an M-80. But that is how I remember the M-80’s of my childhood, so either they were 1/4 sticks or they just seemed bigger because I was much smaller. In any case, they were loud, aroused the anger of neighbors, and were so much fun.

I am one year older than you, whippersnapper.

But did they notify Obama before 3 hours had elapsed?

taken out of context my a*s..

the sh*t hit the fan at her comment and now she’s trying to spin her way out of it..

Who flies from Baltimore to New York to connect to Florida? Must have bought his tickets on Priceline.

Also, how come the cleaning crew can find something the size of a beanie weenie, but can't find the half full soda cup from the previous flight left in the seat pocket in front of me.

No need to. They will just spend billions installing the new microwave body scanners in every airport, While STILL allowing people on the terrorist watch list.

The quarter stick is just the ignitor. If I recall, what the attempted bomber may have done is mixed the binary explosive and try a thermal ignitor. The ignitor failed but maybe a bigger ignitor will do the trick.

I love the way the administration and the media are pushing the "lone kook" theory.

Funny how all the "lone kooks" are Amish. Funny how all the "lone kooks" are not protesting but actually murdering us.

Well as long as no gays, protected minorities or administrative/congressional/senatorial family members are threatened, then it's all good....

We just need to relax....Napalolesbo is on the case.

their spinning is making me dizzy.

“No one else could have placed that device there?”

Watch for some blond haired, blue eyed, frame up jobs so they can avoid profiling the obvious suspects.

That’s about a half-stick of dynamite. I think they call them M-1000’s. They sell them on the Indian reservation local to here.

Your post got a big belly laugh from me! Sad, but close to the truth!

[wiggen]

there were larger fireworks,i forget their names. That 4 inch size sounds close to a half stick?

That’s one mean firecracker!

[SonOfDarkSkies]

Wanna bet Professor Obama will declare this another teachable moment!

[RinaseaofDs]

It’ll bite your head off, man.

Next time some bozo with explosives strapped all around him, front and back, with wires hanging down and a big red “to go boom press here” button on his chest will be cleared by airport security.

Well, there WAS that guy caught at an airport in California who had a thingamajig stuck up his yin yang, wires and all sticking out. They passed it off as if he was just a zany foreign guy with a wired up device fetish and we never heard another thing about it.

I heard Steyn saying that today (in for Rush).

“Piedmont Airlines?

I thought they merged with USAir years ago.”

They did back in 1987, but retained the name while operating as USAir Express

“They did back in 1987, but retained the name while operating as USAir Express”

Thanks for the info.

I used to do a lot of traveling, up to about 5 years ago.
I flew Piedmont quite often, BWI to North Carolina mostly. I also flew USAir express often. Once Piedmont sold over to USAir I don’t recall seeing any of their planes. I used to love flying with them. They were a lot like Southwest but with reserved seating; Friendly, on-time, reliable, and just good people to deal with.
