“Bomblike” Devices Hoax

From CNN, via Tim Lee: “Two men pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges they created panic by placing “bomblike” electronic light boards displaying a cartoon character with an upraised middle finger throughout Boston. Assistant Attorney General John Grossman called the light boards “bomblike” devices and said that if they had been explosive they could have damaged transportation infrastructure in the city.” Yes, and if they had been nuclear bombs, they would have killed millions. Of course, if they had been pecan pies, they would have been delicious. Has the world lost its mind?
