Just in time! 500# of explosives stolen in New Mexico
I THOUGHT a terror alert was long overdue!

===

ALBUQUERQUE - Authorities are asking for the public to help in locating a dangerous amount of explosives. Federal investigators have joined with Albuquerque police and state police after hundreds of pounds of plastic explosives turned up missing yesterday at a secure Albuquerque storage facility.

Also missing are 2500 blasting caps and an undetermined length of explosive detonation cords.

The director of the federal Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Agency in New Mexico says the materials are highly explosive.

He says in the hands of those who know how to use it, there's enough explosive material to level a building.

4. no need to worry
We're fighting them over there (points vaguely in the direction of bin laden), so we don't need to worry about them fighting us over here.

5. I've been waiting too.... but....
The only thing accomplished by a bunch of missing explosives is to point out how woefully inadequate Homeland Security is.

9. Director of ATF says plastic explosive is "highly explosive"
Kinda falls in to the "No Shit!" category. Please tell me he is a political appointee.

BB is right, very fortuitous timing here.

11. This is like telling everybody you can't find your glasses
when they're sitting on top of your head. That horse is worn out and laying down in the barn Bush.

13. Why steal it when you can make it? I have a great recipe
2 pounds aluminum shavings
5 pounds portland cement
3 pounds Aunt Jemimah pancake mix
a dash of all spice
2 eggs
4 moles potassium trimangenism sulfate
7 joules polyvinyl acetone
4 cubits western hemlock

I think I'm forgetting something...

16. ORANGE ALERT
This is the M.O. of the right wing skinheads/militia. Could be the other kind of terrorist too, but don't rule anybody out yet.
