explosives in toothpaste? really? anybody paying attention to whats going on in that corner of

[KG]

the world knows there's plenty of loose weaponry floating around. there's no need for it to be smuggled in in tubes of toothpaste

the US security apparatus will just spout any kind stupid shit knowing it will be treated as gospel by the US press. (remember the dire warnings of terrorist frogmen in 2002?) even the talking heads on NPR were taking that ludicrous notion seriously.

oy.

[Aerows]

4. If you can't beat them

7. Home Depot to the recuse, when they had pallets and pallets in the HD stores. n/t

[Aerows]

9. "It was the fluoride!"

"I knew it was always the fluoride that was the problem! I warned them about it being in the water, now it's in the toothpaste, and see, this is what happens!"

Say Glenn Beck fans everywhere.

5. "there's no need for it to be smuggled in in tubes of toothpaste"

Smuggled?

The point is to get it onto a plane and detonate it.

Who is talking about smuggling?

6. Mere possession of toothpaste will be a felony charge! Drugstores will be accused of distributing

lethal substances. Dr's insisting on use will be charged with aiding and abetting the enemy. Next will be the delivery weapon, the toothbrush. Then floss, the last of the string!

14. Now they will just switch to tubes of sented and flavored KY jelly.

[RKP5637]

15. OMG, now they have taken the fun out of it all, KY possession illegal. That, is going to

cause some friction!

8. Is it that toxic drywall flavor toothpaste from China? eom

[Iggo]

10. I guess people weren't scared enough.

All I know is that's something ELSE I'm gonna have to buy when I get there instead of taking it with me.

I don't know who pisses me off more: terrorists, or people who have no need to be afraid of terrorists but are afraid of them anyway because the TV told them to be. Terrorists by a nose, I guess.

11. Or the politicians who ignored the PDB in 2001.

That was a great idea and I remember in those days people in DU were not too thrilled that bush and his administration completely ignored the PDB.

12. Of all the alerts this one actually makes some sense.

I will leave it at that.

13. Deja vu all over again

16. Hey! How do you get this shit back in the tube?!

Like the guy with explosives in his underwear, I have picture in my mind of some not-too-bright wannabe terrorists trying mightily to fill the toothpaste tube with the explosive jelly they've just mixed up.
