Dec 15 2009Border Security Puts Bullets In Girl's MacBook

first!

and how does this seem like a good way to get to hardrive? they didnt even bother to open the laptop?!? they just shot right thru it? how do you explain something like that? ''hey we need to get the hardrive from this computer. how do we open it? i dunno, lets just shoot thru it and see what happens. ok. sounds good to me!"

I wish I had a hole on my laptop.

I wish I had a laptop.

Speaking of dickholes... @1...

Think before speed posting.

Finally, a good use for a Mac. Target practice.

Hey, this is a good ad for Mac - "Our laptops are so safe, even if yours is shot three times, there will be no loss of information*.

*unless hard drive is hit by bullet."

You know, I was thinking 'wow, she got off light', but, I mean, that's a laptop that didn't need to be shot. Getting off light would've been only realising that Jerusalem's not a great place for a holiday. She hasn't even got a laptop.

I don't blame the dude for shooting it. It IS a mac after all. That type of reaction should be normal nowadays.

It was actually a transformer disguised as a laptop thats why they shot at it.

Israel must be sick of the whole smug mac attitude too, it's too bad an awesome machine had to die for it

Did anyone read what @1 said & is it worth reading? I don't bother looking twice if the word first is in my peripheral vision

Why do people hate Macs? I need to use both PC and Mac, and they both perform equally.

@6 Not funny. I mean, Neither was I, but seriously. Just not funny.

@7 Yes, I did, and no, it isn't. It's just a frail interpretation of the post. He's a first fag who thinks if he adds a slight mention of one of the words in the post then he'll not get bullied.

Well he's wrong. Fuck you @1.

I do not understand
I'll take a look to the

If someday i get a mac, i wanted it with a bullet hole

@9 yeah I figured. Firstards usually don't have anything interesting to add otherwise they'd probably get noticed for something other than failed integrity

Also, to answer your question with my opinion... I think people hate macs because of the conceited, smug attitudes mac users seem to have encompassed. If you know 1 person who's an iDiot, sucked into iCulture and tweets all the god damn time about how they're better then everyone around them on their iPhone while smothering you with stupid youtube videos - then you get the idea.

Personally I can't wait to own a mac book pro. They're great machines utilizing the latest technology to date - and that's something I am going to take advantage of. The iBullshit smug lifesyle though, fuck that

The fact that no one mention the shitty attitude of the guards, speaks well about what happens nowadays in Israel...they do what they want, nobody speaks about it...and America gives money for that to happen..

I would have that bullet-pierced screen framed and on my wall within hours of the incident. Then I would tell girls visiting my apartment that it happened when I was single-handedly rescuing a group of hostages from a dozen armed terrorists.

Just kidding... if girls ever visited my apartment I wouldn't be writing comments on Geekologie, would I? USE YOUR BRAIN

They're totally gonna jew you on that one.

@all http://nervagus.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/jew-jitsu.jpg

@12 same here. Need a car first though.
@13 the post didn't explain why they shot it - maybe there was a valid reason.

@15 Zing!

Hey! New Jew joke!

How many Jews does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Two. One to fit the bulb, and one to make a joke about it.

Not only did they fire on a helpless Macbook...but on a comic book geek's Mac, to boot! For those eagle-eyed viewers, check out the 2006 Collector's Edition Marvel Comics 41 cent stamp stuck to the right of the trackpad. That stamp features Elektra Natchios, assassin and one-time/some-times love interest of the blind superhero, Daredevil. Art by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson.

Get it? 'Cause Jews are funny, and they makes jokes about stuff. Like David Cross. He makes jokes about stuff, and he's a Jew. You know. Those Jews. They're so funny. You know the Jews. Like Woody Allen? You know the Jews. Woody Allen, with his Jewish accent. You know. Like Ray Romano. You know the Jews. Like Ray, who's always being annoyed by his parents. Oh, it's so funny. You know the Jews. The funny ones. Like him off Seinfeld. You know the Jews. Larry David, that's his name. He's funny. You know, those funny Jews. Like Lenny Bruce. You know the Jews. With those jokes. What were there jokes, again? Something about Squaffles? Something about some place turning on all its lights. You know, that guy with the jokes. David Cross. You know the jokes. And him that said 'oh I'm sorry, do you need a donation?' You know the Jews. You know those Jews with their jokes. The one that said 'oh no, my parents are here!' YOU KNOW THE JEWS. THEIR FUNNY JOKES. ALL THOSE TIMES YOU LAUGHED AT THE JEWS' FUNNY JOKES. YOU KNOW THE JEWS. And the one that did that one joke about the pen. You know, that episode. It's really hot, and he gets the guys pen. He won't give it back, because it was a gift. You know the Jew. He did that one joke for seven or so seasons. You know. Curb your enthusiasm. Oh it never got dull. You know the Jews. Like the guy who got arrested for being to vulgar onstage. You know the jokes and the jews.

@19 hey, this is a guy that knows the jews. Good spot, nice art.

"Apparently girl is supposed to be compensated for the laptop but I wouldn't hold my breath for the money to arrive."

Why? Cause they are JEWS?

I KNEW GW was anti-semetic!

*unscathed.

This is a sad fact that Israel is not getting any safer. But I doubt about how they blow up the laptop. Holes on the screen are not enough.

Hmm, better cover myself here.

I'm not antisemetic. I actually like David Cross, Woody Allen, Larry David, Ray Romano and I wish I could say Lenny Bruce, but I can't make out what he's saying in the DVD.

Oh crap, it's 3:30.

3:30 AM. And I've got to go to the bank today. Shit. Well, goodnight, sweet princes. Up yours, firstards. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I like how the macbook stopped the bullets, every time I have shoot some piece of shit windows laptop the bullets go right through and kill the pc lover on the other side, then I fuck their wife.

Did she at least get to keep the laptop?

@28 - Which part of that macbook looks like it successfully defeated the 3 round burst that went into it? Those look like holes to me. If they had stopped the bullets, do you think they might just be dents, not holes? Or, in your universe, does slowing down slightly = stopping?

@29

Let him dream... He will wake up soon.

silly jews

My laptop got shot by bullets, but thankfully i had windows 7 installed and they bounced right off!

@20

learn how to write please.

That is the best thing I've seen a Mac used for TARGET PRACTICE!!!
ROFLMAO!!!

I'm assuming they thought it might have been a bomb for some reason(which is a perfectly valid reason and people who deal with any border security, much less Israel, should be aware of the possibility of stuff like this happening). What I really wonder about is the shooting it part and not doing the usual controlled detonation bit. Doing things differently is all fine and good, but you'd think Israel of all places would be a little more efficient.

@ cabbo - no one gives a shit about what you write so no need to "save face" unlike your mom when she needed like 100 napkins to cleanup her face after... HEYYYYYY

@29 if you look at the picture closely the bullets are clearly imbedded in the keyboard, so the computer did stop the bullets.

@28 is a perfect example of the smug shithead'dness mac culture has expressed though it's anal glands on it's less educated and aware customers, thank you fort that nauseaous spew of an opinion mr cockmouth

"I like how the macbook stopped the bullets" blah blah bkah... what an incompetent, illusive shithead. There's fucking ozi holes through a macbook & Douchey Mc iTard thinks they didn't go through, not surprised at all

And yes, let's bash the PC side of it so we can feel better about ourselves & distract the mentally blind away from drowning in our own feces while our arrogant democrat ideology prevails so we can tweet about it

These are not bullet marks. Too freakin' huge. The holes are larger than keyboard key. I'll be able to get my thumb through. What kind of gun is that?

NOT GUN SHOTS.

@39 wow, little to far dude. Way to take all the fun out of this post. You killed it. Good job. Take your hate and your foul language somewhere else.

@39 Are you really so threatened by mac culture that you have to freak out about it online? Way to be a winner champ.

@40 & 41 either you missed OR I missed a deleted comment, either way I'm going to assume you're referring to me....

@40 there was fun in this post? Yeah I missed it & the guilt of killing nothing is also going to keep me up all night tonight. My foul mouth & I are going to cry for you after this apocalyptic rant of mine ended it all. Poor you

@41 threatened by mac culture, are you serious? More like barely annoyed with the arrogance of what it's produced. I'm not going to bother elaborating on iTardism again - the dead horse isn't even recognizable

Get your head out of your ass Sean, projecting the accusation that I'm 'freaking out' with my opinion merely reflects your understanding the point I'm making in the first place with that defensive attitude of yours

@ 42 you keep saying that your not freaking out and yet you keep coming up with crazy angry paragraph long responses. I think someone just needs a big fucking hug.

@17 what valid reason could there be? 35 said it pretty well: if you thought it was a bomb, you'd blow it up but what the heck good is shooting it going to do? Did they think it had attained consciousness?

@nass. Not to push your buttons. But I have a problem with you saying that I am a less educated customer. I have a six year aeronautical degree and have been a jet pilot for american airlines for the last seven years. I know that you had no way of knowing that but I did take offense when you said that I was "less educated" So bottom line, I am a well educated jet pilot. What do you do for a living?

@43 I'm more passionate about making a point than angry sean, I live a fortunate happy life but can get worked up over redundant attitudes as such. I don't need a hug but thank you for offering

@45 Peter knowing what you've said, yes it's not fair for me to assume you're anything I previously mentioned in response to your comment about killing a pc lover before fucking their wive. As the successful person that you are with your aforementioned degree & career with American Airlines, I can only admire your education as a jet pilot, hats off to you.

With that being the case however, why did you say what you did @28? That's not the attitude I'd want from my captain at 31,000 ft while I'm playing Unreal Tournament on my badass PC laptop while you're toting a gun in the cockpit... ya feel me?

lol @ "unscaved"

Also, Ray Romano is probably Catholic, seeing as how he's an Italian-American from Queens.

@nass
I am only required to be professional in the cockpit. So what I say to people online in no way affects the friendly skies.

@45 I build, fix, and sell computers online following a telecommunications and computer programming degree. Been working from home for over 5 years now & have been quite successful even through this shitty but slowly recovering economy

Maybe you wouldn't get so worked up all the time if you were less stressed. Like if your computer was easy to use and didn't get fucked up all the time by viruses. By your attitude I have a feeling that you have never even given macs a chance. I have owned several pcs over the years. All of which were expensive and professionally taken care of and operated. But they were pieces of shit and operated horribly and were not user friendly at all. And now I use them as end tables, and I don't use a coaster when I set my chilled drink on them because frankly they haven't even earned the right to be end tables that I respect.

Story about this on CNN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLrfPSFyb5c

So shooting unattended bags is the proper way to deal with potential explosives?

I'm calling shenanigans.

@39 - You are an idiot. Just like the assholes that buy $1500 computers as a surrogate for autofellation.

@50 you're a little bit off actually.

First off, I smoke a lot of weed. I am probably one of the most unstressed people you'll ever meet. http://www.flickr.com/photos/37708356@N06/4188996099/ I've posted plenty of those pics here before so it's easy to ask anyone to back me up on that. Stop projecting your anger in the assumption that it's mine, it's not working

Secondly, I've stated before that I am envious of the technology apple has crammed into their mac book pro's as an avid person of technology I don't have a problem with the machines themselves, it's the retarded iCulture lifestyle they promote. If you paid any fucking attention to the detail of my previous response you'd have a clue & we wouldn't be going in circles.

THIRDLY, you contradicted your point when saying "I have owned several pcs over the years. All of which were expensive and professionally taken care of and operated" .............just before saying.............. "But they were pieces of shit and operated horribly......."

IF you knew how to use the goddamn things they wouldn't operate horribly, they do require some common sense. You know, like looking both ways before crossing a busy street? Perhaps you weren't meant to handle something with more than just one point and click, therefore your opinion is understandable

I hate long comments by the way.... just sayin

the most beautiful picture i've ever seen

Clearly they dont like Apple there...

*pew pew pew*
Holy shite! Border security uses lasers?!

HOLEY MACBOOK BATMAN!!!
just sayin'

Maybe a windows fan?

its the bitten apple i tell you.

Well they point their guns at toddlers and shoot children all the time, so what do you expect from them?

god job they didnt hit the detonator !

That's what you get for having a Mac, dumbass.

The 3rd degree refers to freemasonry, not burns, idiot.

The only reason I came, is to say

FIRST!!!!!

really.

if only she knew how to do the jedi mind tick ***whoosh** "this is not the droid you are looking for"

@ 65. R u serious? I have no clue who you are responding to because you didnt say, but if it's to the post your the idiot dude. Women cannot become any degree in the Freemansons, just men. And the post is talking about a GIRL.

@ naas And Peter, your exchanges got my blood flowing this morning, excellent for waking up this disguisting morning....

@ Peter, read before writing... just saying, go back to coment 12 and you will see from naas:
"Personally I can't wait to own a mac book pro. They're great machines utilizing the latest technology to date - and that's something I am going to take advantage of. The iBullshit smug lifesyle though, fuck that"...

@ naas, next time i fly remind me not to go AA, and i mean America Airlines, because i do have a lifetime membership in the other AA, just sayin...

Hey guys anybody has a slight idea of the caliber on this mother? Or the type of rifle, gun, etc. ...?

@65 your a idiot moron 3rd degree is an american term meaning close interrogation or a deep interrogation

Border security was probably just trying to destroy any information on it, but military grunts apparently don't know much about laptop hardware architecture.

Those laptop HDs are so small if you don't know where it is you're better off smashing the case with a hammer or something then ripping it open. Then once the drive is in site you blast it. :)

or you could just dunk it in water or pee on it

They're three equally spaced charges (or water jets) ... not bullets. It wasn't shot at, it was neutralised, I assume because it was suspected to be a bomb.

@65 sithblue :

How about you type 3rd degree into google and go educate yourself. It refers to becoming a full 3rd degree freemason (you have to pass an interrogation to become one, so "giving someone the third degree" has come to mean interrogating someone closely).

Also, it's spelt "You're" or "You are", not "your"... moron.

@68 :

There are women's masonic lodges too.

@naas

You hate apple culture yet you wish to own an apple? So I suppose you would be the one exception to all those horrible apple fanboys out there? Or perhaps you're making an ass of yourself?

You live in a world of internet hate and marketing. I'm a mac user (at work and at home) and I know a lot of people that use a mac, and plenty more that use iPhones, all of whom are perfectly normal people that simply appreciate great design and intuitive, superior products. Is recognising quality the first step to becoming an iTard?

What you are trying to describe, and hate (to a degree that would worry most psychoanalysts) is something almost completely fictitious; spured on by forums and blogs. Simply being happy with a product you own isn't smugness, it's just being a satisfied customer; it would be smugness if we were in anyway actually affiliated with apple, instead of just using a product made by them. And the majority of 'pro-apple' dialogue you'll find will actually be in the form of a reply to comments like yours.

And for the record, even if the internet were real life and we cared about the content of user-submitted messages; then for every apple 'fan-boy' in the world, there's a PC 'fan-boy'; and the one thing worse than being 'smug' about owning a great product is needlessly defending and loving an inferior one.

jus' sayin'

@33 that was written in the style of comedian Stewart Lee. It was fucking bang on, so shut your fingers.

@47 and David Cross is athiest, but that doesn't mean he's not jewish.

@53 You tell 'im.

@71 not just american. Also, it's got nothing to do with the freemasons.

@53 woah. If only I lived over in america. Over here our 20 bags are about a quarter of that bud.

@35 I think shooting at a bomb is probably the LAST thing anyone would ever want to do. Even the thought makes my brain hurt - even the dumbest numb-nut wouldn't shoot a friggin bomb.

@76 I don't think you entirely understand my point of view and that's okay, there is a lot of content.. I know. You're going under the handle "hasabrain" so let's try using the damn thing. I apologize in advance if this gets too long....

"You hate apple culture yet you wish to own an apple?" YES

"So I suppose you would be the one exception to all those horrible apple fanboys out there?" I HOPE SO.. Just because I buy a product doesn't mean I let it consume my well being

"Or perhaps you're making an ass of yourself?" YES, I do this from time to time without any help from the smugness of apple iCulture, stick to the point

"You live in a world of internet hate and marketing." I DO?

".....Is recognising quality the first step to becoming an iTard? NO!!!! BECOMING A NARCISSISTIC ARROGANT PRICK IS BECOMING A ITARD not appreciating awesome technology. TWEETING ABOUT EVERYTHING while life passes you buy is another sign too

"What you are trying to describe, and hate (to a degree that would worry most psychoanalysts) is something almost completely fictitious" NOPE, I know 4 iTarded people that were normal but have now turned into iDiots. There's nothing fictitious about any of that

Several people who knew these people draw the same conclusive opinions. Just because it's not on wikipedia as 'iTwat' doesn't mean it's fictitious

"Simply being happy with a product you own isn't smugness, it's just being a satisfied customer" Then why is the image of Apple culture universally known as SMUG?

"... even if the internet were real life and we cared about the content of user-submitted messages; then for every apple 'fan-boy' in the world, there's a PC 'fan-boy" The internet isn't real? I must be waaay off, and I'm surrounded by a bunch of laptop idiots that keep bragging about how great this windows shit is... yeah, they're everywhere

Dammit I hate long comments, stop making me repeat myself & get the fucking message already. THEY'RE GREAT MACHINES, NOT GREAT USERS

Too bad they didn't put any bullets through her Twilight poster......

BRUTAL!

Al - http://funbars.blogspot.com/

In Israel it is standard procedure to destroy baggage that has been left un-attended. Due to the risk of bombs. By her own admission she left it un-attended, she probably did not know this policy. You can also be fined heavily for breaching airport security in this fashion. I say she got lucky.

Shooting it however.... don't see how that is an effective bomb diffusing technique.

@52 Richard McBeef WTF???

that mac deserved it.infact all macs deserve that.

I want to champion that everyone should read #74 if they actually want an explanation to the article and not a PC/Mac war when we all know that the cool kids use a Commodor 64.

I would have assumed the charges would leave a larger hole than that, but admittedly have never seen them used in a case that it didn't actually trigger a bomb.

Wow... funny how a post on bullet holes in a laptop can incense so many people and posts... and I'm betting they are bullet holes... and shot from close range, probably hollow points. so once they hit, they opened up, making larger exit holes. Any bullet would do that, but hollow points especially. and I say close range cause it looks like there are powder burns INSIDE the laptop... but i really don't know what they are...

Stupid Jews

@76 it's amazing how much people with iPhones and macbooks talk about the fact that they own iPhones and macbooks. And how patronizing it is.

There are no PC fanboys, because it's not a cool thing to own one. Thing is, mactards (not to be confused with Mctards, who are people that will never get past their mcdonalds job, like you) think that it is cool to own this stuff, so rather than get it all for any technological reason they get it so that it'll look good with their suit.

Laptops are not made to stop bullets and wookies are not made from mullets.... just sayin

@naas

You're either a troll or an idiot; I'll let you decide.

However I'll leave you with one last intelligent thought. Assuming smugness when referring to a mac owner is no different to assuming smugness when referring to a ferrari owner, or someone with an 8 bedroom house, or a speedboat. It's called jealousy (and no, I'm not goating you, it's a common aspect of social psychology; it even ties in with idiots bullying smart kids at school).

Look over this post; there are several people that have stated 'it deserved it', and 'Id shoot a mac', etc etc. You your self have rightly stated that they are great machines. This hate is a product jealousy; however arrogant that might sound (cause I appreciate it does), it's true. If there is any smugness it's a product of having to constantly defend something that shouldn't need a defence; and perhaps just appears to be smugness. In my time on the internet I have seen more hate towards Apple than any other brand.

When I pull my macbook out on a train to finish off some work I don't proudly rest my beautiful machine down and beam with an arrogant self-important disposition ... I hope that there isn't some nob-head DOS boy waiting to snark at the 'fashion victim'. But the reality is that this phenomenon only exists in the online world ... hence the lack of crazy people sticking 'i' in front of a derogatory word and trying to pass it as an insult while I try to get home.

And by 'real' I'm sure you realise I mean opposed to 'virtual'.

@74.... those could very well be bullets from an anti-materiel rifle (which are commonly .50 caliber).

For those of you that say shooting stuff isn't a good method of defusing something and it's not very efficient... that's BS. Usually the impact of a bullet on an unstable explosive compound will detonate it... which is why anti-materiel rifles exist. And you want to talk about efficiency? How much of a pain in the ass would it be to transport something out to the middle of nowhere, get close to it, rig it with a charge, back away, then detonate it. The alternative is shoot at it 3 times at 2 bucks (.50 caliber prices) a pop. 6 dollar disposal. Done.

@ 91

Uh dude, yeah, I was there on the train and you were totally smug. You even started to clear your throat several times until everyone’s eyes were on you and then you took your Mac out. Of course you were REALLY over the top when you said "Ta da!!" when pulling it out, seriously, not cool man........just saying...

this is obviously microsoft's new scheme for countering those Mac verses PC commercials.

@91 I think naas summed it up nicely here...
{ ".....Is recognising quality the first step to becoming an iTard?" NO!!!! BECOMING A NARCISSISTIC ARROGANT PRICK IS BECOMING A ITARD not appreciating awesome technology. TWEETING ABOUT EVERYTHING while life passes you buy is another sign too}

i think he is also saying that USUALLY the guys with more expensive laptops, phones, cars, boats, hookers, etc. act like they are hot shit, because they have this expensive shit, when really it just makes them look like a douche. he agrees that there are people out there who do enjoy the finer things without being a smug douche bag....... just guessing

Discharging a firearm in an airport seems ridiculous.

Since when would an israeli armed officer have qualms about shooting wildly in an airport?
Everywhere where there's an El-Al check-in you will have israeli plainclothes security agents with briefcases. the procedure in case of a terrorist attack is that they will open the briefcases, in it there will be a kippa and an uzi. They will put on the kippa to identify themselves, and open fire with the uzis. Anyone in the crowd who is israeli will have military training and hit the floor as soon as they hear a gun, the rest are considered to be suspected terrorists and will be mowed down. All collateral damage will be accounted for as caused by the terrorists. See Lod airport massacre, Tel Aviv 1972, or Rome and Vienna 1985. For a less bloody incident where security arguably worked more discriminately, see Los Angeles 2002.

maybe is just apple buzzing again:
http://michkhoo.blogspot.com/2009/12/inline-marketing-case-review-apple.html

This little apple rant was fun to read, but apples need no defending. They are overpriced for what you get in quality hardware. The end.

I also do stand-up comedy routines and impromptu therapy sessions.

http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/apple

That'll be worth more now on Ebay than is ever was in one piece.

They weren't bullets. It's a special kind of projectile that fragments in a specific way, designed to destroy a bomb's circuitry. They probably missed the HD because they were aiming for the motherboard, or other things that could be hot-wired to make a bomb.

Also, calling the bomb squad in to destroy unidentified packages is SOP in the US too.

(*SOP=standard operating procedure)

This is why I use a PC, they're much more bullet proof.

You are not alowed to bring fruits and vegetables into another country . Including Apples!

It's funny that people assume this happened in an airport. Although the post doesn't state this clearly enough, it happened in one of the Israel-Egypt border crossings.
Also, here in Israel we tend to blow up everything that's left unattended. When I was in primary school the police would blow up bags forgotten in the yard at least once a year. It was quite amusing! And taught you to never leave your bag outside :)
We take this stuff seriously here as there aren't many people who's family or friends hasn't been effected by terrorism.

@23: Thank you.

@everybody else who thinks that "unscaved" is a word: Go buy a dictionary.

god job they didnt hit the detonator..
