Implosion devices do require conventional explosives, that's true. The gun type do not, and I think that would be more likely from a terrorist group. I am not sure I dog would be able to smell the conventional explosive of an imposion device anyway, but I'm no expert.

"They manufacture oily rags? Wouldn't making just regular rags suffice?
"

No, they don't make "oily" rags. They do make "oil rags," though. See my previous post.

Odd that none of the local Seattle TV stations are breaking into their normal programing to cover the situation. I live 13 miles from the scene and if it wasn't for FR I would not have a clue what was happening.

The gun type do not... how do they shoot the ball into the pocket if not by a conventional explosive?

"... were just released on $1000 bail!!??

That's if they stay in the local jurisdiction. If they go outside the local jurisdiction the bail goes to $5,000, for ROAMING.

They're manufactured somewhere. Pakistan is a good bet. Oil rags. Not Oily rags. Nobody would ship oily rags.

I think you've got this one figured out :~) I'm familiar with the rags, used to work in an auto parts store.

The really sad part is that someone else can make rags in another country, ship them all the way here, and sell them cheaper than we could produce them across the street.

Ah, Oil rags. That makes more sense.

The only market for oily rags that I can think of would be for metrosexuals to give girls the impression that they really are a man.

FOX will be stuck on the Ramsey arrest for the next three days. The arrest in the case is great, but put it in perspective to a potential attack and you just have just another murder case solved - one of dozens solved each day.
