There was barely any notice of this event at all. The news hardly even mentioned it. A geocache gets blown up and it’s big news….a real bomb…eh not so much.

My thoughts exactly. A harmless game piece gets mistaken for a bomb and gets 2 minutes in the evening news cycle resulting in the questionable characterization of the sport, while what is reported as a “real bomb” that kids were experimenting with –– dangerous for not only the community but the kids screwing around with amateur bomb-making –– gets little attention in the news. I rest my case.
Now, now, s|s. You’re making a “rational argument” backed up by evidence. Next thing you know one of the “vocal members” is going to call you “paranoid.”
