After hearing about the Boston ATHF bomb scare there was a little group I had to check on.
I suspect that the folks that did the LED lights took a little inspitation from these guys and girls.
The LED lights found in Boston are nothing new and have been in use by groups around the world for the last few years. See the origin of the throwie here.
I thought the campaign was ingenious... it's a sad fact though about the post September 11 paranoid world we now live in.
Sadly, a real terrorist needs only to put a Lite-Brite in front of a real bomb. That's why we can't have this going on anymore. It's a different world and I'm not at all happy about it.Quote:

As an aside, we're starting to push the political conversation threshold a bit...

As for the political discussion deal, the boss doesn't really care for it on his board... so I'm just looking out for all of us.
Upon further inspection, no materials designed to harm people, mushrooms to increase a person's size, or flowers that bestow the ability to project bouncing fireballs were found inside the boxes
LOL...I like that part of the story.
That's some pretty cool stuff, wish they had that back when I was spending my misspent youth :D
I'm sorry but it is sad that the government can confuse a cartoon lite-brite with a terrorist bomb. This just further illustrates the lack of confidece in our government, IMHO of course.
And there it is... ::lock::Quote:
