ANFO under most conditions is blasting cap-insensitive, and so it is classified as a blasting agent[6] and not a high explosive;[7]

VICTOR, Mont. - ATF officials and the Ravalli County Sheriff’s Office are asking for the public’s help in locating recently stolen explosives. Investigators say the stolen materials include roughly 285 pounds of high explosives in the form of ANFO (Ammonium nitrate fuel oil), explosive boosters and dynamite.
The materials were stolen around March 15 to April 1, from a storage facility operated by Ajax Contracting Inc. west of Victor.
“These are dangerous items,” said ATF Agent Ken Bray. “That's why they're stored under very stringent regulations. They're used by trained professionals, and any time these are stolen and out in the black market, if you will, we do have concerns.”

The 4th of July is coming up.
As opposed to BATFE Agents...
Well, not stringent enough, apparently.
“any time these are stolen”
Happen a lot, Agent Starling?

Too soon?
Just got the phone with the ATF...don’t waste your time calling them, they don’t deliver.
They’re stored under very stringent conditions. They’re just not guarded very well.
seems an awful small reward for a lot of stolen explosives. guess they aren’t that concerned. maybe it’s just a new false flag with a token reward they know nobody will claim.

Umm...
“You know how to take reservations, you just don’t know how to keep them.”
The federal gov. has become a Seinfeld episode.
Wow!! We lived there back in the 1970s. Don’t know exactly where this would be. Wonder what this is all about.
April 19th is right around the corner.
Yep.
Let’s see if the dems once again start making accusations that the right wing extremist TEA Party are a bunch of Tim McVeigh wannabes right before a fertilizer bomb goes off somewhere and then claim their accusations about the right wing extremist TEA Party being a bunch of Tim McVeigh wannabes were correct because it was a fertilizer bomb.
1934 Germany?
Why not something a little closer to home.
How about looking at the attempted car bombing in NYC in 2010.
Had that bomb gone off and the Obama adm. been successful in pinning it on the TEA Party as they tried, the TEA Party and anyone associated with the TEA Party would have been declared terrorist.
