This story saddens me to no end. It makes me truely understand that the US has indeed lost the war on terrorism already. The American way of life has been lost in so many little ways and it can never be regained.
I remember when i was a teen. growing up in Ohio btw, that I was involved in many scavenger hunts with my churches youth fellowship group, my high school for fund raising, and local clubs and charities. They would put simular boxes in varrious locations all over town and the person or team that figured out the riddles and collected the most boxes in a set time was the winner. Truely sad that out country is so thoroughly gunshy in this day and age that people in a small town in the middle of nowhere would actually jump to the conclusion that a colorful box that looks like a pre-school craft project would be considered a terrorist bomb to be defused by emergency services.
I remember as a kid growing up, in Ohio BTW, that our CHURCH youth fellowship group and our high school amoung others used to have scavenger hunts for fun and fund raising etc. They would place things like these boxes all over the town and the person that solved the most riddles and found the most boxes was the winner.
Kind of makes me sad to know beyond a doubt that the US has lost the war on terrorism already. We have allowed outsiders forever change the american way of life in some many little ways and it can never be regained.
