Well that's interesting and a bit worrisome.

[MestaMachine]

Just sitting out there all by its lonesome. Really?

[Amberdawn]

I’ll say. I hope they find it...INTACT.

[Cyber Liberty]

Huh. Why does the Forest Service have that kind of muscle? That’s a lot of tree-trunks to blow up.

[coloradan]

How much holy hell would the f-troop rain upon a private citizen who failed to secure legally possessed explosives? Now, how about if the owner was a federal agency? Ahhh, sovereign immunity ... smells like victory.

[Marcella]

Remind me not to go where there are large crowds until the explosives are found and locked up.

[The Cajun]

Lots of explosive magazines are out in the *country* in unguarded bunkers, away from everything, with just Master locks preventing entry.

I know what of I speak from the industry I worked in.

[TigersEye]

I'm not sure I trust your source on this. /s ;^)

Is that Red Lodge Montana?

[Forty-Niner]

The Boston Marathon is just the start of a terror campaign against our civilian population. Bombings of malls etc. will become routine.....

[rcrngroup]

You got that right! F-Troop!!! F___in' inept incompetent retards! Good thing the Fed gubmint/DHS has the 1.5 billion rounds of ammo securely accounted for! /sarc

Maybe we don't have to worry so much about the explosives or the ammo, since the KeyStone cop federal agencies & doofus DHS likely can't remember where they placed it in the first place!

[smokingfrog]

That’s a lot of ‘splosive.

[Doc91678]

Hmm..., That’s about 270 plus IED’s in pressure cookers? Will the ATF be able to find the perps any better than they found the guns of Fast N’ Furious?

[Grams A]

Yes. Daughter of one of my friends just moved back up there during April. Very worrisome. I, too, wonder what the Forest Service was doing with such a huge quantity of explosive material, particularly in this part of the U.S.

[dadfly]

wow. i guess i’ll be avoiding big crowds.

[smokingfrog]

I’m not sure what the forest service would be doing with all those explosives on public land, but I could pretty much guarantee that you wouldn’t be able to do the same thing on your privately owned land.

[Mortrey]

Hmmm...and Benghazi testimony on the 8th of May.

MUST HAVE DISTRACTION.

[cherry]

over 500 pounds of explosives and they’re just sitting there?....its ridiculous.....

[cherry]

thing is, whoever did this needed a big truck, and probably some help....this was not easy task....personally, I wonder about the govt accounting practices....who really knows when this stuff went missing...

Blowing beaver dams, log jams?
