Good Job No One Told 'Em About Bangers

I dunno, one incident and the whole of North America goes batshit crazy. Post 11 September (no I wont call it that!) the law enforcement bods in the good old US of A seem to have developed what can only be described as pre-emptive trigger finger syndrome (PTF). This manifests itself in a ludicrously over the top reaction to mudane occurrences. Clocked this on Digg and wondered what would have happened if a cockney had called this in reporting a package of 'bangers' lost and alone in Philly. True there was some duct tape in evidence and as we all know duct tape is dangerous stuff but to overcook these delicacies with an explosion, however controlled, must rank as slightly OTT. Link.
