Did they really have to shut down the city of Boston just because there were some Lite-Brites hanging around? I guess it's a new strategy by the terrorists to mark their bombs with multi-colored flashing lights?

My favorite quote from the article:
Wow, so "sophistication" = a breadboard and some LEDs now? Woah. I must be a traveler from the future using my ultra-advanced "com-pewt-er". All fear my terrible technology.

Edit: "Lite-Brite" and not "Nite-Brite" - my bad.

I love my capital. It's so wonderful.

Thankfully, I don't live IN Boston (I live in one of the outlying suburbs, about 30 miles due west). Otherwise, I'm sure I'd be as pissed as everyone else over this whole ordeal. Thankfully, there are plenty of people in this state that feel exactly as you do.

All that hoopla, and I bet I can sneak a box-cutter onto my plane tomorrow and no one will notice. Gotta love Logan. It was a joke for decades before 9/11, and not much has changed since then. Except for the wait times. And the traffic. And all the signs that point to dead-ends within the airport itself.

Yeah, I love my capital.:P
