WTF is going on in Boston?

[stripersnipr]

No doubt there may have been some degree of over reaction but to think a Cop is going to consult his children when an unidentified object is found attached to a bridge is a little out there. What percentage of our population has even heard of this cartoon, let alone were aware of this marketing campaign? Do a Google search on "unknown object attached to bridge" and see what you come up with.

I thought the war in Iraqs purpose was to make the citizens of American feel more secure about there safety. Clearly we are more scared then ever of terrorism and this is a perfect example. The war in Iraq has done nothing but made this country extremely paranoid of a terrorist attack.

No, 9/11 has made America extremely paranoid of a terrorist attack.

and I'm sorry but any electronic device placed on a bridge abutment that wasn't placed there by a City/State Worker should raise a flag, No matter WTF it looks like.

The rest of the world that deals with terrorism continues on.
There's bombings CONSTANTLY in Israel but you don't see them freaking out over everything and anything.

Quit acting like this is SOME NEW CRAZY CONCEPT.
Its been around for thousands of years and nobody else was frozen with fear into shutting down cities over it.

All yesterday was was proof that terrorism works. And it works damn well.

I just shake my head at most of the stuff written on this thread.
I can't comment on all of it but I will say one thing.

Maybe those other cities didn't have unpaid people placing those things on bridges, maybe those other cities had sense enough to not do that WTF I bet they put them in more unsuspecting places.... duh
some common sense is lacking in that sad event of yesterday
Yes, terrorists love this kind of reaction, it's a shame this crap goes on

From what I've heard about the LA placements, they're not much different, and they're just as unpaid everywhere as here.

Zounds. Crazy new concept! Street teams! People who put up concert posters/all kinds of other strange promo things/etc. even when the dead were around (but i think those street teams were handing out shrooms maaaaan shrooms and loooooove)! They had STREET TEAMS! waa waa wee wow!

Think before crying wolf.

How very VERY effective it is.
