They aren’t big, and you could have two. One in a backpack, and you could have another bag that you are carrying. The bags could say, “Boston Marathon Equipment” on the outside, and no one would look at you twice.

Right winged, southern hicks do not use these type bombs. Has to be a bomb made out of used beer cans.

And duct tape, don't forget the duct tape!

Does anyone know where there might be a pressure cooker ‘buy back’ program? I have 3 old ones out in the barn. I am ready to turn them in.

“I believe that is not the case, it appears that they were TATP (triacetone triperoxide) bombs.”

Can you provide a source for this? TATP is really dangerous stuff. It is scary easy to make, but will also likely blow up on you in the process. It is not a smart explosive to use...except maybe as the initiater for a more stable explosive like Urea Nitrate which is also scary easy to make.

If pressure cookers are outlawed, only outlaws will have pressure cookers.

Here is a future "outlaw".

Who buys 2 pressure cookers?

I think I've got 4. And they will all be used when tomatoes are harvested.

You need to get out more.

Is she mentally capable of handling a “PRESSURE” cooker. Like “ASSAULT” weapons, they are a lot more volatile than regular cookers.</sarcasm>

It was in a trash can. They probably ran all the bums out, as liberal cities always do before big events.

Sooo...you have an arsenal, do you? AND you hang out at right-wing websites? Put the salt shaker down and step away from the cutting board, citizen. The secret police are on the way.

She would be if she was trained in an Afghani terror training camp. /s
