Where did you get the "dynamite" info from ???

The report just says "explosives" in the text above and on the ATF web site . Most commercial and private mining firms use binary for OSHA/DOT/Storage/Insurance reasons such as Kine-Pac brand............

Stay Safe !

Stay Safe

Or water gel explosives like Tovex, VERY common for bulk pours in the mining industry, or RDX-based plastics similar to C4, as used in petroleum industry shoots, and sometimes transferred marked as *drilling mud.* I didn't do it, nobody saw me, you can't prove a thing....

Seismograph shots are almost always now done with DuPont Nitromon, very carefully calibrated nitro-carbo-nitrate [ ammonium nitrate and TNT] charges about the size of a beer can that can be screwed together like a Bangalore Torpedo and dropped into a borehole with a capped Nitromon primer as the booster charge to fire the shot. It's very nice stuff to work with, insensitive and safe, with no nitric acid headaches resulting from its use.

There's still a good bit of both ammonium nitrate-based Dynamite paper cartridges still around though, common in lumber country where both logjams in waterways and beaver dams are commonly shot with fuse caps rather then electricals are more typically used, particularly where Austin Powder dealers and distributors are active. The same is also in fairly commonplace use by railroad right-of-way bridge-and-building maintenance crews in Northwest rural areas where bridges over rivers fouled by springtime log buildup can dealt with without ever taking the MOW trucks off the rails, though 6-gallon prilled ammonium nitrate charges are finding a lot of favour for turning such problems into toothpicks. The clue here is when two hi-rail trucks travel together, one carrying *powder* [ANY explosives but those orange 6-gallon buckets are common] and the second one with the caps and primers. These are the crews who still get *blaster's headaches* from the job, depending on what they prime their prilled charges with.

I don't know what those fellas [presumably] in California actually stole, but I've always hated to carry any more powder than I needed for a shot. My suspicion is that anyone swiping 700 pounds worth is likely thinking about possible resale or has a real specific project in mind.

Hey! Watch this! FireInTheHole!

Nitrate headaches are the worst.

We were blowing beaver dams years ago and would need to go back in to dump crush run into the hole to provide a base for the beavers to rebuild.

Oh, the worst Icecream headache/migraine pales in comparison.

Under no circumstances are we to get involved. Do we want this to be a snitch site? Muslims are peaceful. We should only look for Scandanavian women because they are the ones causing trouble around the world.

You're absolutely correct. It sounds entirely maybe likely could be possible that the Swedish Bikini Team might somehow be involved, and I'll begin a complete and exhaustive probe of them at once, giving them particularly close scrutiny and a hands-on investigation with as close attention to detail as I can manage, even going undercover, if necessary.

It's a dirty job; but I have just the sort of mind required for this sort of thing and look forward to getting to the bottom of them, er, ah, this....

Uff da! Opp och nyed!

If they were just all holding FALs then........

Thanks for the ping. The Swedish Bikini team is always worth checking out.

The things we have to do for our security!

Oh, I'm very fond of the FAL and it's British/Oz L1A1 SPR cousin. But they're not of particularly Svenska origins, or evem Scandanavian.

Hmm, 4 girls, How about a Swedish Karl Gustav M3 84mm recoilless rifle, a 6,5x55mm Swedish M1921 Browning Automatic Rifle, a little more controlable than the US .30-06 version, a Swedish Husqvaarna m/40 Lahti pistol [okay, I admit I like the Finnish production ones better, but the Swedish holsters are nicer made] and a Swedish m/45b *Swedish K* SMG, at least until I can dig up a kp/34 Swedish short-barrelled version of the Finnish k/31 *Suomi* SMG:

[Oh, and a Swedish STRV 103 *S-tank* as well, I think. And a backrub....]

First a government lap top computer (Clinton probably sold it) then Los Alamos, then a spy or two busted in the FBI, then 9/11.

Then cyanide goes missing and now explosives. Sheesh are we just gonna give em a ryder truck next along with our country.
