| #1 Strange. Taking explosives FROM the civilian world TO the military world. "Military grade wrapping" implies the stuff was wrapped in military grade wrapping but wasn't, itself, milspec. If the guy wanted non-milspec, he could wait until he got to his base and go off post in his spare time and get it. If he wanted milspec, he could finesse it more easily there than at home. Unless there's a leak in the military supply system in Texas that doesn't exist elsewhere and he knew about it in advance. But it's not milspec, apparently. If it isn't, what is it? And why wrap it in military grade wrappings? Why not a ziploc? Wonder if he had something or other non-explosive wrapped in some old paper he'd found lying around the base and the detectors spotted traces from the wrapping. TSA might be wanting to demonstrate their usefulness by snatching some guy who's only got wrapping paper. |
