The LA Times reported that some kid was busted for making exploding pens and leaving them on the street for hapless passersby to pick up. The pens were set to detonate when they were uncapped. The kid is now being held in juvey, but you know he’s destined for either Gitmo or an invisible rank in some elite C.I.A. explosives unit. Here’s a quote from the article in the LA Times about how the kid had a book on making explosives.
The books seized by investigators described explosive-making procedures but did not say how to rig a pen to detonate, Miller said. “Coming up with the idea was his doing,” he said.
When you show that kinda moxy/crazy, you either get punished huge or you get exploited by the government. There’s no good reason why this kid isn’t making James Bond style weaponry for the 007s of America.
