I think the absence of our resident US government conspiracy theorist experts Yubba and Bubblehead1980 has helped keep this potential UXB from detonation.

Conspiracy or not we have to recognize times are changing in the sense that crimes in large cities and small town America are getting more violent and premeditated. School shooting were we are finding the perp heavily armed. Shootings at a mall movie(heavily armed) and finding the perp has rigged his apartment with bombs. Bombs in bags at marathons. Shootings at a college in Blacksburg VA. The list continues to grow and getting more frequent. Sure, we have seen similar crimes in the past but at such frequency? It seems this activity with weapons and crazy manifestos is a weekly occurrence. Should the police be issued gear for handling a growing problem facing every city in America? Should they train for mall shootings? The do here in MD and rightly so. The landscape of types of crimes is changing. The police force must change with it. If there is some civil unrest they will be ready as well. There was civil unrest in the 60's. It required a response. Something different today that the police would not need to respond?
