Evidently preparing for war.
Recently TSA purchased 1,386 pounds of dynamite to go with their ammo.
Just what we needed -- 1,386 more reasons NOT to climb aboard a US flight.
Why would the TSA, who focuses on groping women and children boarding planes and some buses, need dynamite?
That’s certainly interesting, what are the possible uses the TSA could have for that product and that quantity? I could see small quantities as useful for training search dogs, calibrating electronic sensors designed to detect such things, or perhaps for EOD work.
Unless I’m mistaken, I don’t work in the industry and don’t handle things likely to turn me into pink mist, but I’m under the impression that most construction work done in modern America doesn’t use the old style dynamite products, and only really uses them as boosters to get cheaper and more stable earth-moving and rock shattering explosives to reliably detonate. If I saw a private construction company purchasing that I’d read it as likely 2,000 booster charges for a hell of a lot more than 1,300 pounds of actual explosives.
The dynamite is for their self destruction. With the incompetence I have seen so far, I fully expect it will earn them several Darwin Awards!!
Let's all not forget the 600 million (If memory serves) MRE's they bought a year or so ago. Well survival foods. I remember that some manufacturers had to halt sales to all other parties to meet the order from the DHS.
357 Sig is so hot it will exit the brick wall from the building it which it is fired and penetrate the brick wall into the adjacent building.
Probably they need this hot ammo to shoot the people who do not show their papers fast enough, get their liquids out fast enough, or take shoes off fast enough, or get computer out fast enough, metals off, jacket off, into the X-ray and back scatter death inspection, or for Americans who submit too slowly to the gonad crotch grope. Obviously these balking tea partying American travelers need to be immediately shot with the hottest pistol load possible and the the dynamite can be used to blow them to smithereens for good measure.
What dip shit moron is wasting taxpayer money on such ordinance?
Like the MANPADS, these are going to go to Islamic
terrorists chosen by the First Moslem Tyrant by Fraud.
Now who was in control when TSA and DHS and the Patriot Act were put in place?
Would it be a grand conspiracy if TSA was the only other “military” that had ammunition and equipment to wage war against a Soviet invasion?
That Obama all along was a Russian mole that would allow Russia to walk right into Central America or even Mexico?
Seems to me Russia may very well waltz right into Venezuela, take over completely, starts sending troops and equipment and all Obama does is just does his golfing thing to be...flexible?
But I still believe the TSA is trying to create its own police state myself, while Obama goes golfing.
Isn’t it strange not even Cruz or Palin has asked in front of a microphone what the purpose of these purchases is?
Why is that?
When Zero declares himself president for life, there could be lot of turmoil in the country.
Dynamite? Why—so they can go “Clint Eastwood” in an authorized home invasion scenario?
Or, are they planning for Kiev-style barricades?
Or does someone have some stumps in their yard?
Hmmmm - sounds to me like they are just trying to influence the Nobel peace prize committee...
The BATFE should investigate why the DHS needs dynamite. That would be a hoot. After that, both organizations should be disbanded and what few legitimate functions they have should be turned over to the FBI.
A completely new additional reason to watch what they do very carefully when they grope you at the airport.
On the plus side, imagine the hilarity of trying to train TSA agents to use dynamite.
They should issue them cyanide capsules as well, to swallow if they might be captured by the Tea Party or Christians or somebody like that.
Why? Like with so much else the federals do, it is “because we can, and nobody can stop us.”
