Everybody, according to the mayor's report, worked together and got to the disaster center on time. The bomb squad did their job well. The mayor was on the radio every morning and evening keeping us uptodate. The shutdown was done efficiently. The startup was not a problem (other than the usual snarls). They must have shut the city starting from the outside in. I didn't hear many awful traffic reports. The mayor has done his homework establishing an infrastructure for the times when messes will happen. Note that he was accused of overreacting. Also the news said that the marketing firm told the guys setup those things to not say anything. It took over a half day for anybody on the Turner side to call the mayor and tell him it was a publicity stunt. Most politicians around here say the word "9/11" followed by a "but". /BAH

What is clear is that any improvised device showing batteries and wires is presently suspicious to the police. That's got the potential to shut down cities and airports. Leaving a large ghetto blaster at Logan Airport would probably shut down the building it was found in. As usual, the police are the last to ramp up to understand technology. It took them a long time to come to grips with computers and the internet. It is taking them too long to come to grips with simpler "devices". What's obvious is that they need to send some of their brightest to as-yet-undesigned seminars to learn what constitutes a threat, and what doesn't. In the meantime they don't dare to take a chance about anything that looks suspicious. Even so, they should have some inkling of what sort of passive volume a device needs to have in order to contain explosive in a deadly quantity. In this case police ignorance was expensive.

I already tested that. All radios were affected in all rooms. /BAH |
