RE: VIRUS Alert for the LIST

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is sort of off topic, but it's something I often wonder about.  Last
week two guys were arrested in N. California for plotting to blow up a
couple of LARGE propane storage tanks.  The conspirators weren't terribly
good at what they were trying to do and it sounded like something out of an
Elmore Leonard or Carl Hiassen novel.  The thing I wonder about is how many
intelligent people with good impulse control have the same sorts of ideas.  

I don't lose a lot of sleep over it, but it does make me wonder.
