#4 The Unabomber used razor blades in his bombs. Possibly deliberate immitation, which makes this guy an eco-nut.

#5 Civilians caught making bombs and explosives on this scale without proper permits and training and with no legitimate justification for doing so ought to hung in public. Bombs of this type are the choice of cowards.

#8 55kg of commercial blastng materials obtained by deception. That is someone up to no good. I would bet they were quite improperly stored as well. Mad just mad.

#9 From Tim Blair, here's more of the story:

UPDATE II. John Howard (!) Admundson has appeared in court:

Police allege he fraudulently obtained explosive material and detonators. The prosecutor, senior sergeant Mark Lingwood, asked for an adjournment to allow Admundson time to seek legal advice, which was granted. Admundson then asked to make a statement, telling the court he previously worked at the Brisbane airport and had ASIO security clearance, was cooperative with police, had no affiliation with any violent group and had the explosives for a television shoot.

Carry on.

#11 "No mention of his name, so he's either a muslim or a nut."

If he's an eco-nut, it's more likely to be revealed than that of a mossie.
