At last, I have thought of a scenario to serve as my entry in Bruce Schneier's famed Movie-Plot Threat Contest.

Having obtained an ex-USSR nuclear weapon, evil terrorists conceal it in a brightly-painted trailer containing a merry-go-round in Illinois, then take it on a cross-country rampage, stealing gasoline and rolling from state to state, confident in the knowledge that they won't be caught unless they do something dumb, like ramming a police car in West Virginia.

Stolen Carousel Trailer
It could happen here.

OMG "it could mean a happy ending to what has certainly been an up-and-down, round-and-round case." LOL what a set up!

I've been thinking of you lately wondering when you would next post. I am currently reading "Angels & Demons" by Dan Brown, wondering about the "science" in it. I told my husband about your LJ name and he thought it was funny and obvious. I also am committed to going to Chicago on June 26 which is the other thing that made me think of you. I have to pick up my mother and nieces at Union station. Don't you live up that way?

From the news article:

After a 45-minute chase where Emerson allegedly rammed one of the squad cars and slightly injured an officer, he finally surrendered without incident.

Allow me to look askance at their stated definition of "without incident".

Now that is some serious family fun.

Is this too low-brow for the Skiffy Channel? Maybe they could add a radioactive leak that's causing some cockroaches in dark corners of the truck to grow to giant proportions.

The phrase "too low-brow for the Skiffy Channel" strikes terror in my heart.

It does the same thing to my heart too. Actually, this sounds like something the Chioddo Brothers might be interested in, based on what I saw of Killer Klowns from Outer Space...
