760,000 pounds of high explosives "were" the chickens. This stuff is under tight control. You try to buy a few ounces of it at home and you'll have the FBI at your door. Now there is enough of this on the loose - equivalent in weight to the Statue of Liberty. With this massive amount of high explosive you can manufacture anything: - 380 "crude implosion type" nuclear bombs of WWII era - millions of terrorist-friendly anti-personnel / civilian terror devices. - Or blow up almost 100,000 trains. - Or Every airliner in the world. - Power generation facilities.... the list goes on. Or just start shipping bombs with random timers, everywhere in the world. Leaving them in taxis. Lobbing them into crowds. Etc. Explosives, not ordinance, is far more useful, would you not say, to terrorists in raw form than encased in a heavy 250 pound metal casing... Terrorists don't need no stinkin' tank, especially not an Iraqi tank. Message 20686824
