Can't get back into my office today because of a bomb scare. I decided not
to stick around and see if it was a real bomb, so I wandered south and wound
up in the National Museum of the American Indian... George Gustav Heye
Center.
Did you know that conical woven baskets were used to carry berries, as
opposed to cylindrical, so that the pressure of a full basket wouldn't crush
the ones on the bottom?
Interesting stuff.

A lightly classified intelligence bulletin circulated Thursday to 18,000 U.S. law enforcement bodies is headlined "Possible suicide bomber indicators," and was distributed via the Bureau's secure Law Enforcement Online (LEO) Intranet. It warns local badge-carriers to look for obvious signs of trouble - people wearing heavy, bulky jackets on warm days, smelling of chemicals, trailing wires from their jackets - as well, more subtle ones, such as tightly clenched fists. Someone who never shows his palms could be gripping a detonator rigged to go off when a button is released. "If you shoot him, you're still not safe because his hands relax and the bomb explodes," says a counter-terrorism official. </excerpt> --- To unsubscribe from the Virus list go to <http://www.lucifer.com/cgi-bin/virus-l>
