[The Magical Mischief Tour]

A-10's are enroute...

[dhfnc]

thanks -
I can't believe that they can not find it - It should not be hard to spot, I wouldn't think.

Hitting a nail with a hammer could spark!!!!

Not if you do the framing before you stick in the drums. Simple design. . .like an egg crate or a tic tac toe board.

[BansheeBill]

Wait a minute, how can you duct tape a 55 gallon drum full of anything to the wall of a van? I suppose I'm ready to believe something like this might be true, but in this instance it just doesn't sound right.

I'm with you having done some moving work. It could be that the drums were held to the side with a 2-3 inch wide grey nylon winch end type tie-down hook end strap and the security guards, briefly seeing it in maybe a darkened cargo area, thought it was duct tape, because as you probably know, a drum full of any solid or liquid material would break loose of duct tape in a hard turn or stop.

A-10's are enroute...
What are they?

[goodnesswins]

SHEESH, if it was on the "news" you'd think everyone and their buddy would be looking for it.

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

Unless it ducked into another garage and the cops are looking on the roads

[dhfnc]

Again, I am new - what is an A-10?

[Missy35]

They're probably out of the Boston area by now. OR parked in their drive way : )

[Helix]

In that case, they're citizens and can be executed for treason if found guilty. (I get your meaning about lawyers, though.)

[Trailer Trash]

Agree!! We citizens need to rise up and let our government know that we want them OUT!!! We want all the muslim's out of here - and don't care which country they're from. All landlords should have to report them to the authorities.Gee. That's really smart.

I'm an ethnic American and a very proud American at that. And I've been a member of this forum longer than you. Does this mean I should quit posting?

Get a grip man. This is exactly the reaction they want.

Think about it.

[VA Advogado]

The extensive reliance upon duct tape indicates a domestic origin for the suspects. If the latch was secured with a screwdriver that would nail it.

I just have a funny feeling this story isn't the big one some might think it is.

[lelio]

It could be anything in those drums though. Maybe guns? If it were out here near Spokane I think it would be meth lab ingredients.

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

Again, I am new - what is an A-10?"

Flying killing machines... The Iraqi's came to know them well...

USAF Jets

[ladyjane]

What are A 10s?

[ableChair]

I think he was just joking. An A-10 is a ground support/attack aircraft designed primarily for attacking main battle tanks.

[McGavin999]

LOL, you know us pretty well, there are very few women here that don't carry.

"Moblie River? Hi, Neighbor! Born and raised in Mobile. Retired from Scott Paper Co. Moved to Lucedale,Ms. about ten years ago.Small world."

Howdy neighbor. Dad retired from the state docks RR, he moved a lot of boxcars to Scott.(Bless his soul) I retired from Texas Instruments in Houston in 1994.

[honway]

An A-10?

It is an airframe built around a Gatlin gun. It is very effective on tanks and Ryder trucks with Muslim terrorists in the cab.

[dhfnc]

I hope they have given this idea up - maybe they don't want to die, so they are just trying to get away. I think that is just what I want to believe, not sure it is what I really believe.
