Dumbshit. Although its kind of scary to me that the only thing saving us from major disasters a lot of the time is the incompetence of the people trying to harm us. 
Oh well. I guess its nature's way of balancing everything. We're idiots, but so are they.

Shouldn't every fertilizer be non-explosive grade?

+500 XP for perceptiveness. 
I have no idea of the actual answer or process involved, but that logic was just too good to ignore.

I think it's funny that the Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for a failed bombing.

I love the fireworks part of the bomb, I'm surprised the idiot didn't use a pinwheel to spark a match to light a fuse as well, definitely amateur hour, but thank goodness for that.

Just read a report on yahoo, Shahzad, scheduled to appear later Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, will face terrorism and weapons of mass destruction charges, and what I want to know is how is propane gasoline non explosive fertilizer and some fireworks considered weapons of mass destruction?

Yeah. The more I started reading about what they found in the car, the more I was like WTF? It sounded like blowing a bunch of shit up in the woods behind my house when I was a kid. Lets see:
1. Soda pop bottle filled with gasoline, stolen from my Dad's lawn mower? Check.
2. Can of aerosol hair spray? Check.
3. Black cats? Check
4. Box of kitchen matches? Check
Good job terrorists. You're a bunch of retards.

I knew someone who was charged with Possession of WMDs for having a couple of sawed off shotguns. I don't really care what he is charged with, as long as it keeps him locked up for the rest of his miserable life.

Is it bad that I read this title as Time Car Square Bomb? And thought of Back to the Future?

I'm kinda surprised this wasn't mentioned in the South Park thread a couple days ago, since for the past couple of days everyone has been speculating if it's been South Park related.

For some reason, this doesn't worry or scare me in any way. My doctor says I'm dissociative.

When I say I find it scary, Don't assume I'm hiding in a bomb shelter, shaking for dear life. Its just as mentioned before. Soldierhawk put it best. "Although its kind of scary to me that the only thing saving us from major disasters a lot of the time is the incompetence of the people trying to harm us." Thats what scares me the most. You can't stop it completely, not without giving up all your freedoms. If its my time to go, fuck it I guess.

Also, I live in the suburbs, as do most of my friends and family. I have never been faced with clear and present danger by any terrorist threat, successful or otherwise, so it doesn't frighten me in any real way. I certainly don't like to see people die, but to me a terrorist attack isn't any different than a flood or an earthquake: it's horrible thing that happens to someone else, and if someone knocks on my door and asks me to pledge money to the victims, I'll do my best to help as much as I can.

People in here are making good points... most terrorists are dumbasses that couldn't tie their shoes let alone construct a bomb. Couple that with the fact that it is actually very difficult to pull off an attack without being caught, and terrorism becomes an extremely difficult thing to do, logistically speaking.
That said, this conversation reminds me of a message that the IRA sent to the British Government after the failed Brighton hotel bombing:
"Mrs. Thatcher will now realise that Britain cannot occupy our country and torture our prisoners and shoot our people in their own streets and get away with it. Today we were unlucky, but remember we only have to be lucky once. You will have to be lucky always. Give Ireland peace and there will be no more war."
It's true. Seeing someone try to construct a bomb with some M-88s and Fisher Price clocks is almost laughable, but the truth is, for something to really cause some damage, terrorists only need to get it right once. And as the adage goes: even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Thou, because I am wroth, be not dismayed, for I shall win the strife, whoever circle round within for the defence. This their insolence is not new, for of old they used it at a less secret gate, which still is found without a bolt. Above it thou didst see the dead inscription; and already on this side of it
descends the steep, passing without escort through the circles,
One such that by him the city shall be opened to us. |

Ok, since on one seems to know the answer, it's up to me to answer the question. Feel free to critique me.
It's not the fertallizer thats explosive, but what may be the most important ingredient, ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3 (plants need nitrogen)), which happens to be a favorite ingredient for those who like to use improvised explosives, and is the main ingredient for ammonium nitrate/fuel oil (ANFO), a common explosive. This guy was a bit of a dumshit though, as he probably had much too little fertillizer to make bombs (If it was the right kind of fertallizer). |
Since you don't seem to know how to spell it, it's up to me to tell you that it's spelled fertilizer.
Also, duh. You can watch any half-assed action movie to know that ammonium nitrate is the dangerous part. I would argue this guy is more than a bit of a dumbshit... it seems like he just took a bunch of stuff that he assumed would go boom and threw it in the back of an SUV. Wile E Coyote school of terrorism.

They have gotten it right a number of time throughout history, and yet we're still here living our heathenistic lifestyles in defiance and we always will. They'd have to get lucky thousands of times to really do any damage to the country and to us.
