Nothing to see here, move along, Part XVI
A Goose Creek update, h/t to Michelle and the Tampa Bay blog of the St. Petersburg Times.
Remember those two Middle Eastern college students who got busted just outside the Navy weapons base about a month ago? Just out for a joyride with some fireworks, right?
TAMPA—PVC pipe filled with homemade “low-grade explosive mixture’’ and a videotape instruction for turning a remote-controlled toy car into a detonator were among the items found in the car driven by two University of South Florida students arrested in South Carolina and now facing federal explosives charges, according to a federal prosecutor.
... itemized what South Carolina authorities found in the trunk of a car he and Mohamed were driving that concerned them. Those items included: three pieces of PVC piping that were filled with a mixture of potassium nitrate, Karo syrup and cat litter. Federal authorities called it a potassium nitrate low-grade explosive mixture, and said they also found more of that mixture in a separate container in the trunk.
...also included a videotape that instructs viewers on how to convert a toy electric car into a detonator.
... Additionally they found an electric drill, a box of .22 caliber bullets, a five gallon container filled with gasoline and 23 feet of safety fuse.
... They also found a laptop computer in the men’s car. On the laptop they found a 12-minute video on which a man shows how to turn a radio-controlled toy car into a remote-controlled detonator, Hoffer said.
An RC car, 5 gallons of gas, 3 pipebombs filled with explosives, and a good long fuse. And a box of bullets. Sounds like a mobile IED to me, hmmm?
”No immediate threat” the feds told us the night it happened. Now, that’s what I’d call ”a willing suspension of disbelief”.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
