myfoxboston.com— Thanks to the Boston Police bomb squad, this is one traffic counter box that won't get a chance to kill anyone.

Not all Boston. I'm sure the citizens are about as smart as the rest of the nation. (not that this says much).Sarah Silverman said it best. In her premier show, a cop walks up to her car and says "Ma'am, do you know why I'm standing here?" and she replies, "Because you got all C's in school??"Some cops are smart, but most cops are garbage men with a gun. They are "moving up in the world" by becoming cops, this is their leg up in the world, their chance out of poverty and ignorance.Unfortunately, a preponderance of Boston's police force appears to have driven in from appalachia and are still adjusting to "the modern world" where highway departments count traffic by placing steel boxes padlocked to street signs with rubber hoses extending out into the street so cars going over them can pneumatically increment a counter. Any moron can actually call the DOT and ask "we have a box, it's silver and has a black rubber tube coming out of it at xx street address, is it your's?" But not a podunk, hillbilly who's never been to the big city.
I have a class at the Time and Life building in NYC and each time you go there you have to run your stuff through the X-ray. I was studying for my midterm and didn't want to lose my place in my notebook so I set it to the side along with my water and hot chocolate. Then the security guard made a big stink about me not putting it through the X-ray and I was just like "It's a notebook" and he said "Then why can't you just put it through the X-ray." So after I argued with the guy for another minute about the ridiculousness of running a notebook through the machine I did it and he said "Well I guess it's just a notebook."So then I walked into the reception area and told my friend "What a dumb f**k, I'm more likely to have some kind of chemical mixture in my cup than in a f**king notebook."
Its time that Boston stops being such pussies blowing everything up. If a terrorist wants to blow you up, he isnt going to chain it obviously to a lamp post or stick it to a bridge with a mooninite on it. He's going to HIDE IT and its going to blow up, killing people. So, to think they would "hide it in plain sight" is an excuse to blow up traffic monitoring devices is retarded. Otherwise, Bostonians are going to have to walk around naked and remove anything package-like from their city.

Wait, you say they knew what was inside and they still blew it up?That's even dumber than the previous story.

The people of Boston don't appear to be very intelligent.
