OMG! Those look like bom-bs! All those resistors, capacitors, batteries and LEDs!
justin, you left out the "exposed wires" aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
On the slideshow link I posted, there is a link to where and how he "captured" the sign in Boston...
TWO WEEKS before the hysteria hit.
My Grandmother who died 30 years ago, back when she was alive, would have immediately recognized one as a lit sign, with little "light bulbs" and a battery to power it. The thing is so thin and open, it can't be anything else.
Grumpy, I agree with you!
So here is the new protocol... Immediately report all items that don't belong where you see them. Such as:
A sign on a utility pole that says: Painting, Off-duty Fireman, and a ph. #.
A garage sale sign on a street corner.
A rusty muffler sitting on the shoulder of the road.
What looks like a McDonald's cup with a lid on it, and a straw sticking out.
Beer cans.
A street person holding a brown bag.
The Butt Sisters shopping at the mall... could really be thin people strapped with explosives.
Anything painted on bridges, rail cars, water towers and the like.
Someone Bogarting what looks like a cigarette butt.
Someone smoking a fat cigar.
Canned goods in a plastic bag sitting outside someone's front door on a Saturday morning.
Looks like we are going to need a big budget increase to blow up "disturb" all this stuff all over the country.
I think what really dismays me is the decline in any "technical" abilities or reasoning as displayed more and more by the American public. People can stick their face in front of a monitor and think they have technical abilities. Yet, they understand or can grasp so little. It is as if TV and screens in general have replaced observation of the world around them, and thought. But let's not forget emotions... pile on the emotions, the more screaming and "I am so upset" the better. America of today is piled high with emotions, with a hair-trigger. Oh no, hair-trigger = guns!
