That really should make you nervous.


How do you tell from a phone call? ESP?

What about the 9 other cities where these have been for 3 weeks now?

Well, if those other cities got four phone calls at 1pm about devices planted at subway stations and bridges, it would have been quite a mess nation wide huh?

"The discovery of the light boards led state, local and federal authorities to close the Boston University and Longfellow Bridges and block boat traffic from the Charles River to Boston Harbor. In addition, the Pentagon said U.S. Northern Command was monitoring the situation from its headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colorado, but said none of its units were dispatched to assist."


This irrational fear is retarded

Yeah, I guess at one point it was irrational to fear jumbo jets taking down skyscrapers

I think jumbo jets should be outlawed, every time one flys over I am frightened about what it could do.

Welcome to the post 9/11 world.  Fear all that is unknown.  Fear the mighty power of the mooninites!  Bow down before Ignignokt!!

After the bomb squad detonated the first one, couldn't they tell it was harmless?  Any inconvenience to the city after that point is now the burden of the city!  Then the citizens should be concerned it took 2 weeks for these "suspicious" devices to be noticed.  They should then question the fact it took all day to notify people that there was no threat.  Advertising gone wrong, or new rendition of "Keystone Kops"?  

It is possible that terrorists would use an illuminated device to draw attention (though highly unlikely), but would it be attention too or away from the real threat?  

The "terrorists" must be laughing their bellybutton off, we jus showed again how inept we are at responding to anything.....We take nearly a week to respond to real dangers on our people that we knew of in advance (Hurricane Katrina debacle) and we take 2 weeks to respond to Lite-Brite IED's.....in only one of the 10 cities they were placed in.....How many billions of your tax money went into "Homeland Security" and this is what you got to show for it....We are so screwed....

                                 IF LITE-BRITES ARE OUTLAWED,
                         ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE LITE-BRITES!

You liberals kill me.

Bombs blowing up all around the world and you don't understand why people are worried.

That is why you guys should never be in charge. Reality plays no part in your world.

How could these light brites reasonably be considered a threat?  Should I call the bombsquad when I see a cardboard box lying on the side of the freeway?  Or maybe I should call them when I see one of those temporary flashing traffic markers they put up near construction?  How's about I call the bombsquad when someone drives past with those wretched under-the-car glowing lights?  Could be uranium!

Now THAT is the question that really needs to be answered.

Its not that these things were placed where they were.
the one true crime is that it took law enforcement and homeland security types 3 weeks to find them.... In plain sight!

Kinda makes you feel real secure in how safe we all are.

If real bombs were planted I somehow doubt they would wait 3 weeks to set them off

It isnt a liberal thing. Nor is it a conservative thing

Its a common sense thing!

Then again looking at it in that light
It may very well be both a liberal and conservative thing.

As least noticable of the senses in both parties is "common sense"

This morning I drove to work and passed a _Pile Of Rubble_ at a construction site.  Before this wakeup call, I had driven blithely past it, but now I realize that it could CONTAIN A BOMB!

Don't worry, folks.  I swerved across traffic to keep my distance from this lurking menace.  There was a traffic accident, and it turned out that there wasn't a bomb in the pile of rubble after all, but I expect the construction company to pay for the injuries and damage.  In this post 9/11 world, we can't be too careful.

Yeah, the most serious offence afoot here is perhaps posting a billboard without permission... what ever.  Its going to be even funnier if they had permission.  Then what?



Bush isnt a very good pres, but blaming him for the cops in boston being retarded is a stretch.

How could anyone with two brain cells think that device was a bomb?

Not everyone in the thread is a liberal.



If you think that needed a bomb sqaud, I am glad people like you are running the country... wait a minute... everyone thinks Bush is an idiot so maybe we do.

Sorry never mind.
