I wonder if it's anything like the underwear bomber who burned his testicles when his bomb failed, or the car bomb in which fireworks were placed in a non-explosive fertilizer failed... (that one failed because the firework explosions were contained within the fertilizer.

Or what about the Glasgow bombing, where the only ones injured were the terrorists?

Why don't people just blow up gas stations? Like, start filling up your gas tank at a self-serve station and then set off an explosive. It wouldn't take much time or effort and it'd probably do more damage.

I don't get why they don't bomb the Mosques.

We're all gonna die!

Its O.K, no one panic. Just surrender more freedoms to our benevolent government - they have our back.

Not just that, but what about the stores that sell propane tanks? There are often dozens of them all in one spot, and Home Depot is a pretty busy place.

So the failure for this to happen means that the three guys just vanished into the ether?

That's what happens when the CIA does its job properly.

You guys see the movie Red State? It's Kevin Smith's latest, about a christian church/cult basically imagining if the Westboro Baptist Church were to militarize. At the end everyone gets either killed or disappeared thanks to the Patriot Act.

I made five terrorists disappear just yesterday. How come the US doesn't employ me, too?

^ You drove into a mosque, didn't you?

I saw it not too long ago. I was really surprised and confused at the trumpet part.
