Can't wait for your "I am rubber, you are glue" ensemble.

I still claim non-functional is not an accurate description, and don't really care what you seemingly are trying to tell me.

Adding:CNN quotes investigators as saying they were functional but unstable, meaning they could be set off merely by handling. So again, save your lectures for someone who cares. Of course it is terrorism, no one is saying that is not. Your claim that it is amateur hour is your opinion and you are enititled to it. But pick another venue and stop trying to tag your 2 cents onto my opinion. I said non-functional was not accurate and still hold to that.
