In high school I once brought a TV tube (CRT) for the physics teacher, so we could do experiments with electron beam deflection. What implosion danger, on the back of the bike... what wires :-) What glass tube? He did not want it, dunno why, but we stayed after school with a blackboard full of equations about electrons... Very inspiring guy.

So, anyways, in these day I would be arrested and counselled for that? Or worse, shot in the head first just in case it was dangerous, like they shot that guy in the UK from South America who had a backpack? Paranoid schizofrenia!! And, let's face it, is is all because of GW Bush and his cronies. How sick one nut case can make a whole population, how really really sad..

This always makes me wonder wether there is a published standard for wire colors in a bomb. And what the punishment for not adhering to this standard? :-)

That's true for communist bombs only, islamistic bombs have a green wire, catholic bombs purple. Creationist's bomb have no wire, but a counter that counts the seconds to Armageddon.

You end up hooking them up in the wrong sequence and end up with a "pre-mature" or "just-in-time" detonation, depending on who does the analysis. :-)

All of mine would use redundant blasting caps, and all wiring would get packed inside heat shrink tubes so a lot of jostling would need to be done before any wires would even become available for such a decision.

Nobody would get disconnect access. Once initiated, it would be set in stone.

Well, think the chance of facing a real bomb is negligible. The real risk is to be hold reponsible for even the tiniest scratch one sustained while only looking at the device, followed by American claims :)

There was a case where a passenger on an airline filled out a comment card, sealed it in an envelope, and gave it to the flight attendant. (Sealed in an envelope, would one expect it to be opened in flight, since it is addressed to the airline?)

Again, asking "Sir, is there a problem?" would likely have solved the issue without any other issues. But instead...

No, its all because of Clinton, Bush just inherited the problem.

Some fruits of my highschool boredom:

- Dozens of electronics gadgets, with wires sticking out everywhere

- Rockets (with toilet paper as the main fuel ingredient)

- Tear gas, all sorts of little smoke bombs and stink bombs

- Coloured fireworks

- Vinegar-and-baking-soda bombs

And yes, our garage actually /did/ contain hazardous and explosive substances -- e.g. weed killers and fertilizer.

I guess I'd be eligible for life imprisonment if I'd been that US kid and did what I did some 30 years ago ...

I missed an IRA bomb in London by about a minute or so. Your chances of dying in a traffic accident are much bigger. Why they (US) do not grab kids from the streets and start counselling them beats me :-) Indeed their legal system has become a business in itself. Parkinson's law: if a company becomes big enough it will sustain itself,. Did not work for Enron though YMMV. But indeed the shear fear for a lawsuit will trigger these things. Wonder if they have lawyers in Haiti, and who they will blame for that earthquake. IIRC the Chinese killed the school builders when the earthquake collapsed some schools... Maybe they should behead the priests, those did not pray strong enough to prevent it :-) LOL It is the Pope's fault. What a world.

No hasle, better servive, better view, better food, more room to move around, just a bit slower and a bit more expensive. I do not want to fly with a nut case as pilot.

Electronics components found in his backpack? Where does he think he's living, China?

As has been stated many many times.

The terrorists have won.

Americans no longer trust each other. No even children.

Was this country tittering on the edge of blood lust for so long we can no longer see the good in anything or anyone.

This America is now a third world country, with an economy to match.

The common enemy here is each other.

This demonstrates what is fundamentally wrong with our school systems. The educational "elite" think they know better than anyone else about anything. They make arbitrary stupid rules and exhibit no capability to apply some reasonable judgment. We parents need to take the school system back from these terrorists.

That's what they want you to think, but in reality the protagonist is always color-blind.
