outline of my new book

actually ....


would be interesting and EASY to do non-violent terrorism, which would have greater impact and be easier to do



1) buy diesel, perlite (which LOOKS like AN fertilizer) and some steal drums. (NONE of these purchase will raise ANY flags)

2) put together some fancy looking wires and a clock

3) tape to drum,

4) steal a pickup truck or van

5) leave some of the oil and perlite outside of drum where it can easily be seen.

6) park truck outside of federal building with blinkers on.

7) walk slowly down the stairs to the subway and escape

8) watch the PANIC on TV



/did I mention that I am writing a novel about the teahadists?
