How do we know what they were? We have drug smugglers using children's dolls and teddy bears.

We have palestinians using the shape of a pregnant woman to hide bombs.

Plastic explosives chan be shaped into anything, INSIDE anything.

The irony here is that Turner tought people knew this obscure cartoon. If anything, we should just simply ignore the show and the movie.

Um, you look at one.

In this case if you can't look at one and tell what it is I would respectfully suggest that you wouldn't recognize what was in the McDonald's sign either. So therefore it could be a bomb too...

Ya, somebody could filled the light polls with plastic explosives too...

There's no end to this line of reasoning.

I'm sure Turner would think it would be hilarious if anti-Turner "marketing devices" were placed in selected movie theaters showing his movie.

The lesson here is that criminals attempt to hide their bombs using everyday, innocuous objects that do not draw attention to themselves. Magnetic signs with light-up Mooninites do not fit the profile. (If you want to ignore the profile, than yeah, anything could be a bomb. It could be someone you know. Someone you trust. You might be a bomb and not even know it.)

Using that argument should we bring a parent up on charges if his five year old son leaves a teddy bear in a park and the police send in the bomb squad?

The terrorists win if we live our lives in fear of doing anything that might be misinterpreted by the stupidest government official.

I for one will not be reporting every glowstick, firecracker, teddy bear or transformer robot I see left on a bench to the Department of Homeland Security.

They have much more serious things to worry about.
