Because of the extent to which security issues have become part of our
aviation life and this newsgroup, I thought some of you might like to read
this story about the recent bomb scare at quiet Queecy Lake, New York.

Back when I was in the Fire Department, we had a lecture from the Police
Bomb squad guys. They get enough real bombs in similarly innocuous
situations to not care about things like this. He had quite a collection
of pictures of:

1. Real dangerous stuff like live ordnance souvenirs that people had picked up.
2. Attempts at bomb making that is amazing they didn't kill the guy building them.
3. Some really laughable attempts at homemade bombs, usually made up of some
quantity of disposable lighters and targeted at some jilted lover.
