Bag's Rants

Looks like nothing to be found after all.

It seems they are still looking for this device after four days. Read more here.

Now I would have thought that if there was anything to find, considering it could kill hundreds, they would have found it by now so I can only hope they are trawling for evidence that will point to somewhere else that this device can be found. More likely is they will come up with a bottle of bleach and some car filler and claim they got there before the weapon was assembled.

Unfortunately, in reality it looks like there is no device and it makes you wonder about the quality of intelligence. The bad guys, and they are out there, are feeding useless information to the security forces so they send 250+ officers out to shoot innocent civilians and overwhelm them so that the real information is buried like a needle in a haystack and there is insufficient manpower to handle it.

Couple the costs involved in this with the compensation that we will have to pay if this guy is innocent. Factor in the harm this will make to the relationship with these people and this is unlikely to improve the quality of the intelligence. In fact it is more likely to be used as a form of revenge or intimidation on people similar to Iraq and Afghanistan.
