"It's a (possible) twist worthy of Shyamalan. An EMT who responded at the site of the fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas last month was arrested on Friday -- on charges of possession of bomb parts. The arrest occurred just hours before authorities announced they had begun a criminal investigation into the explosion, although they declined to say whether the two events are related. The paramedic, Bryce Reed, is in federal custody for allegedly possessing parts of a pipe bomb, according to the U.S. attorney's office. Reed claims he helped evacuate people after the April 17 explosion."

I was tempted to post this in the vent, but what the hell... If it gets moved there, then, meh...

Could I get a couple of quick shows of hands here?

The place you currently live - Got Plumbing? - possession of pipe bomb materials - TERRORIST!
Got any watches, kitchen timers, RC toys, cell phones, etc. - bomb making components! - TERRORIST
Do any electrical work? wire, pliers, soldering iron? - bomb making components! - TERRORIST!
Do the Lawn and garden thing? - have AG chems? - materials for making explosives! - TERRORIST!

Apparently it's illegal to possess "bomb making" supplies now. See ya in Gitmo!

That explosion wasn't caused by no pipe bomb.
