Beware the Burrito Bomber
A few weeks ago in Clovis, New Mexico, a 911 call about a possible weapon at a middle school put armed officers on rooftops and locked down the school.
Someone saw a boy carrying a silver object wrapped in white cloth into Marshall Junior High School.
Two hours later, the boy was found. The item in question...was it a bomb...no, not hardly. He had brought his lunch. It was a 30-inch burrito wrapped in tin foil with a t-shirt wrapped around it.
The steps from burrito to bomb is odd. I can understand in the post-911 modern world how scary the idea would be if you saw someone with something that could be misconstrued as a pipe bomb.
I don't have a solution or a suggestion. I just thought that this was an odd bit that needed wider exposure.
