At what point do people both here and in Boston gain common sense. If it has flashing lights, then it is not a bomb. Obviously. Only Hollywood bombs have flashing lights or a timer display.
What will you do when organic shirts arrive in airports with LEDs glowing inside the threads? Give your friend a sweatshirt. Then use the remote control to write "Kick Me" on his back. Will you freak out and scream "bomb" when that prank is executed? Yes, such fabrics have already been demonstrated even in the IEEE Spectrum. Clearly we have published bomb making skills since all bombs have flashing lights.
Next time you see a flashing light bulb, yell “bomb”. Next time you see a car with emergency flashers on, then yell “bomb”. That is what they did in Boston. Next time a the street light starts flashing, yell “bomb”.
So what store will flashing bomb sweatshirts be sold in? Will ‘The Gap’ be renamed ‘The Blast Shop’? If it has flashing lights, then it must be a bomb? More likely scenarios. If it is an American Tourister, then it must be a nuclear weapon. Or he must be hiding a toothpaste tube bomb in his Afro? Point an automatic weapon at him! Can you believe how wacky our extremists have us seeing enemies everywhere?
It was flashing lights. Therefore it is the least likely item, anywhere in town, to be a bomb. A more likely bomb would be the airport bar cash register. Why? It looks too normal. A bartender looks too normal. That's what a dangerous bomb and terrorist look like. Get a grip people. The only moron saw flashing lights and then just knew it must be a bomb.
Oh no! That parked car has a blue flashing light on its dashboard! It must be a bomb!
