Terrorists acquire backpacks!!
Head for the cellar Ethel!! Did I just hear Steve Emerson say on MSRNC that the two terrorists arrested the other day hadn't acquired bomb-making material, but had acquired THE BACKPACKS to carry bomb-making material??

Those dastardly scoundrels!...

...I just figured they were talking about a "bomb" they'd seen on Broadway.

3. every school child's backpack has been confiscated
and all backpacks are henseforth banned, to prevent a terrorist from blowing something up, and duffel bags, are now to be referred to as "assault" bags because of thier high item capacity, and room for add-on pouches, will require a 3 week background check screening before purchase

5. My purse is a backpack!!!
Even worse....Although the triplets are beyond needing their mother to tote a diaper bag, they are still young enough to occasionally need a change on clothes on the road. Their mother carries kid paraphernalia in a backpack!

10. It's probably better for the terrorists in the end.
I had heard that Terrorist Mutual Insurance was getting a lot of back injury claims.

12. Shit. Now I guess they're gonna start cracking down...

Anyone know, was it carrying a backpack?
