| NYC: man arrested with fertizlizer bomb materials in car |
| 2011-01-26 |
| A man who was pulled over in Queens during a routine traffic stop was arrested after cops found bomb-making materials in his car, authorities said. The driver, who has not been identified, was pulled over in Jamaica at about 2 p.m. after a cop spotted him illegally crossing a lane, sources told The Post. The officer arrested the driver, who is in his 30s, after spotting a car battery, fertilizer and glass jars with aluminum shavings inside -- materials commonly used to make bombs. The man was taken to the 113th Precinct stationhouse for questioning. Sources said the FBI was notified of the arrest. The NYPD has been on heightened alert since 9/11 to be on the lookout for suspicious activities. |

| #7 Nunchucks are banned for the same reason that AR-15s are banned in some states : evil-looking weapons that the banners do not understand, have never trained on, and their only experience with them comes from movies that make the weapons out to be much more effective and damaging than they are in real life. |

| #6 I've no idea, tipper. If so, then it isn't a big deal. I've never understood the fuss about nunchucks -- lots of Korean martial arts students have them, but they are very hard to learn to use well. Most of those who own them are covered in bruises and still could barely hit the broad sided of a barn without harming themselves. |
