Post Police Search for Missing Explosives at Phoenix Airport
Local police and federal officials were searching for a potentially dangerous container at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix Sunday night after explosives disappeared during a training exercise, MyFoxPhoenix.com reported.

A blue Igloo cooler with the letters “CB” written in white on the cooler’s bottom were apparently taken during the exercise on Friday.

Inside the container were two half-pound tubes of Cast Booster explosives, a type of explosive that’s used in mining throughout the state.

I don’t think it’s a matter of “is it coming.” I think that it’s already here, it’s just a matter of perspective. From one perspective, our frog friends are telling us that we should be grateful that the “spa” is hot and luxurious. From the cook’s perspective… another 10 minutes and we’ll be dinner.

For those that don't know, these 'boosters' are small explosives. They are strong enough to blow the door off your house. If you are holding it at arms length when it detonates, it will kill you, not just blow your arm off. They are called 'boosters' because they are 'little' bombs that are used to make the bigger bombs blow.

Hmmm, thinking about it...I wish I had about 2 or 3 cases of them. They'd make some interest...well, I'll leave off the rest of that. Oh, the 'prep' ideas that run through my mind at times...
