Joe Stack Bomb Threat: FBI Searching Georgetown Airport for Car Bomb after Austin Plane Crash

NEW YORK (CBS) FBI sources tell CBS News that they are actively looking for what they believe may be a bomb or explosive left in Joseph Stack's car at the Georgetown Airport.

The airport is 30 minutes from Austin where the FBI says Stack crashed his plane into a building housing IRS employees.

"We are treating this very seriously," an official told CBS News.

CBS' Austin affiliate KEYE reported that the Georgetown airport is locked down as officials search for a possible explosive.

1. The guy could show up at a mall with a bomb strapped to his chest.

Joe Stack sounds completely at wits end and probably is in a state of mind where he thinks he's got nothing left to lose.

Edit: Nevermind, he died when he drove his plane into the building. The only threat left are the bombs he left behind, if any.

2. Is it "terrorism" yet?
Nope, white, right wing libertarian BOMBERS as well as family planning/abortion doctor KILLERS are exempt from such labels.

Let's say Stark was merely a disgruntled taxpayer? :eyes:
