Homeland security



From the Kalamazoo Gazette:
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A charge of inducing panic through a bomb scare has been dropped against a Three Rivers man who had a sticker with the band name This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb on his bicycle.
Terry Johnson, the band's bass player, said fans often have their bikes impounded but it's rare for the streets to be cordoned off, the bomb squad called in and the bike destroyed as happened in Ohio.

UPDATE
Mark Kozak at the Daily Vidette has the whole sorry story. The T-shirt campaign is here.
