TSA Orders Over Half-Ton Of High Powered Explosives
via From The Trenches World Report
Put this in the “What in the hell are they thinking?” category, but the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) protectors of the friendly skies, the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) has submitted another requestfor high explosives via the Federal Business Online website today, and has issued a Limited Source Justification for three businesses to provide the material: Hallowell Manufacturing LLC, Omni Explosives Inc, and Tripwire Operations Group. While this is not new, the explosive they are requesting has not been ordered/solicited in the past 10 years.
They are requesting a total of 1,386 pounds of dynamite, specifically – UNIMAX extra gelatin NG- SIZE, which comes out to 1,980 sticks of 1 1/2 inch by 8 inches of nitroglycerin badness.
Why the heck would the Transportation Security Agency need explosives? Seriously. They and so many other agencies and local police are becoming so militarized its really getting spooky. Put this in the ever increasing list of odd and ominous things government agencies are buying.
So in addition to the HUGE ammo purchases, DHS (incl. subordinate TSA) has also been making other questionable purchases:
August 2012: TSA purchases 1,400 pounds of high explosives, the same ones as used in the Murrah Federal Building bombing in 1992 (1)
September 2013: DHS Allocates Nearly One Billion Dollars For Explosives Storage Magazines (2)
February 2014: TSA orders high explosive from the source of 1993 WTC bombing (3)
And now this?
March 2014: TSA Orders Over Half-Ton Of High Powered Explosive (4)
Obviously not a coincidence.
