Everybody knows al Qaeda is the only organization in the world capable of making a pipe bomb.

The terrorists are after our stainless steel urinal technology.

It's a streetlight

spman: So he's a dumbass for calling the bomb squad, but if he inspected it on his own and it really WAS a bomb and he set it off, the headline would read "Man finds object with wires attaches, exlodarity ensues, your dog wants Darwin for the win". So what's the answer here?

Perhaps this one particular case is a bit extreme, but is it reaaly worth it to take any chances in the world we live in today?

I was just going to post the same thing. Great minds blah, blah, blah...

Well, they do hate the gay friendly Western culture so what better place to attack?

The terrorist are after our flag poles. We must strike back by pipe bombing their flag pole which happen to be rags on large sticks.

It wasn't an United States flag, so it could have easily been a bomb.

The thought of Larry Craig tapping his foot in the stall next to mine scares me far more.

I expect this stupidity from NYC, but Mesa? Seriously though, this "if you see something, say something" campaign in NY is ridiculous.

Not every case is the same. You find a flag on the ground, fallen from the pole, you find an object underneath the flag-- it looks like what the pole is made out of, and you don't overreact. In any case, if the bomb squad is called, I think a single individual from the bomb squad should go in and determine if there is danger before the whole friggin' place is closed down.

There are ways to be cautious and careful and smart without being paranoid.

Not every case is the same.

those things that carry water from my basement to teh
rest of my house look like...dear god...PIPES!

god, they've rigged my entire house already!
im a gonner!

/call teh bomb squad!
//everybody panic!

they've won

ALWAYS BE VIGILANT!
Especially when the phone rings at 3 am

I'm still wondering why we are not seeing more of the guy caught trying to get a pipe bomb on board a plane to Jamaica. You would think something like that would be getting more press.

The terrorist have truly won.


Indeed.

My neighbor told me he was going to

"Lay some pipe, bigtime"

this evening.

Should I turn him in, given this WORLD WE LIVE IN??????

all pipes are bombs!
all wires are bombs!
All beards are terrorists!

Look under your sink and in your breaker box and then call the bomb squad on yourself

When did we become cowering pussies?

R.A.Danny: I really can't blame some poor sap for buying into the hype and being paranoid.

So because some people are stupid you should be too?

Islamic fundamentalists aren't the only people who make pipe bombs.

Cue your bored rural teen who just walked off of a reservation with a sizable purchase of explosives. Kids have been blowing crap up for generations. 9/11 has done little to temper that.

looks like Bush prevented yet another terrorist attack. God Bless Murica

I once found an Ishtar DVD outside my office and called the bomb squad.

Terrorists are attacking the cities, and gays are attacking the rest stops. Get it straight.

Dae Pipe Dae Pipe Look boss dae pipe!

Are people in this country really scared this shiatless??\

HAS ANYONE OUT THERE HEARD OF COMMON SCENCE? DID I SPELL SENCE RIGHT? KAN ENNY UNNERSTAN ME?

HELP! CALL THE SQUADS!!! IM GOING FARKIN INSAYIN!

I was hoping it would be a gun, a single bullet, a razor blade, and a match.

/obscure?
//not to the US Military!

What if it's both?

Damn Mooninites!!!!

AlQueda is doing a better job at scaring Americans than the USSR ever could while on a shoestring budget

Before the cottaging fans chime in I have to ask...

Have you ever seen a person cottaging in a rest stop?

I mean a person really getting cottaged in a filthy rest stop.

Just wondering...

Corvus: spman: Perhaps this one particular case is a bit extreme, but is it reaaly worth it to take any chances in the world we live in today?

What world is that?

You mean in a world where more people die from getting hit by lightning then from terrorist attacks?

What world is it today?? Please explain how many people die from terrorism in the US each year.

Stop living in fear. You coward.

But please explain to me this "world we live in today"

Careful, in the world we live in today, that sounds like terrorist lover talk. YOURE CRAZY! Hey guys let's avoid this one, he can't see the sky falling!

Nope, it's just paranoia.

Not wanting to take chances with public safety, the DPS closed the Canoa Rest area near Tucson and called out the bomb squad to determine what the object was.

I am utterly convinced that this is what happens when you never let your kid play on the swingset because he might fall and get a boo-boo. They grow up to be even bigger pussies and do things like this.

FYI to paranoid goobers: Al Qaeda flies hijacked jets into skyscrapers! IT's true!

But they don't leave fireworks in plain sight at rest areas.....

Even if it was a pipe bomb, it's prolly just some Klansman trying to take out a few bone-smokers.

So call the Bomb Squad---but let's not initiate genocide over it, OK?

Yes it is worth it. What kind of farking dumbass question is that?

Not like we are asking you not to look both ways before crossing a road. That's far more riskier than treating every object as a freaking bomb.

A piece of junk under a flag? In ARIZONA? You pussies. My God. You're more likely to die from slipping and falling running to call 911. Really. Your odds of dying from slipping and falling are higher than your odds of being killed by a terrorist. Get a grip, people. Real risk vs. OHMIGODTERRUH!

Better safe than asploded.

So, the next time I'm at a rest stop and don't report
the pipe with wires?

I'm coming back and haunt everyone of you farkers...

/chains with wires
//they clank, and blow

capsun: I once found an Ishtar DVD outside my office and called the bomb squad.

That's a job for the Toxic Waste Disposal Unit.

What you have to watch out for is people who use the word "I" as in "I went to the bank today."

It is a code the terrorists use, the "I" is the first letter in "Islam," and using the word in a sentence is the way they clue each other in that they are down with blowing people up.

American quotes throughout the centuries:

18th century: Give me liberty or give me death!

19th century: May our country be always successful, but whether successful or otherwise, always right.

20th century: Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.

21st century: OMG! I'm so scared!! Call the police!!!!

I don't mean to sound like a libtard or anything else. But if it looks like a piece of the flagpole came down with the flag...

Q: why is the flag on the ground in the first place?
A: maybe part of the pole it was connected to broke off?

Farking common sense these days has gone completely out the friggin' window.
