CPB Pressure Cookers Being Siezed
This ain't a good time to bring your pressure cooker home according to a friend who entered at El Paso / Cd. Juarez. His buddy who was also
secondaried, had a cooker and canning stuff in his motorhome. CPB confiscated the pressure cooker but not the cases of canned jars of mangoes and fish
(from the Caribbean). Secondhand info said the CBP officer said pressure cookers coming the other way would be seized as well. This is getting kinda
stupid. I guess some areas have USA inspections looking for guns or money coming into Mexico. Ah man I had plans to buy one in the states.
I can just see it:
"Sorry sir! Electric wire, cookware, butane cylinders, alarm clocks, cellular phones, nails, ball bearings, and every other device or item that can
conceivably be used to build an explosive device is now being confiscated".

Reminds me of a time at the San Diego Co Fair,
they were confiscating pocket knifes at the
entry, while inside the fair, in one of the big tents,
all sorts of knives, cutlery were sold

How long before baseball bats are confiscated? It took this bunch in office to turn the Patriot Act against the people it was made to protect. Who was
it that said if a government says you must give up some liberty for your security, you will loose both?
edited to remove the bats vs. guns comparison I was mistaken on, per Willardguy.

Really? Well, when I was around (living in here the USA) during the Bush years, we were safe and still free after the Patriot Act, and we citizens
were not made to feel like criminals if we wanted to protect ourselves with guns or ammo purchasing. We also could take a pressure cooker with us
anywhere we wanted. 
It was the left that screamed we would lose freedom under the act, but it is the left that is taking away our freedoms.

Thank you, if your link is correct, then I am happy to go with the truth, as always! Still doesn't change my question... regardless of how many bats
are used to murder people.

C'mon folks. Stop picking on DK's "illogic ". As was said, don't point out the facts that get in the way of his victim-rants.
Geedubbya did such a good job of protecting everybody's "rights"...he invented false reasons (as if he was responsible for ANY governance.....puppets
can't move on their own) for a war that only needlessly killed a lot of Americans....and others.
My prediction is that the Boston nightmare is the doings of an American terrorist individual or group that is likely at the right side of the
political spectrum....Timothty McVey type thinking, perhaps.
But I have been wrong before....we are all waiting to see the whodunnit info.
The horror of the situation isn't losing a cooking pot at the border.....the horror is the loss of life and limb. I don't think that the Democrats
are to blame for that....
Don't believe everything you think....

You see....the problem with the confiscated pressure cooker is that it holds too much food. They should have had the smaller version. After all,
who needs that much pot roast???

David, blunt objects kill more Americans in America than RIFLES. RIFLES David, not guns in general. Your statement is a bald faced politically
motivated lie on the it's face. Here are the statistics from the FBI for 2011. Total people killed by any kind of gun 8583. Total killed by RIFLES
323, total killed by blunt objects, 496.
http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/c...
Is 496 a greater number than 8583? If it is not, then just please apologize for your immaturity and remain essentially quiet until you know what you
are talking about.
And you have got to be the last wing nut on the planet who will still defend George W. Bush!
Stick to missions and naming islands, you're good at that.
I'm sorry if this sounds harsh Amigos, I just get sick and tired of people telling lies to support any political position.
edit to remove an error.

When one opens mouth and inserts (political) foot, you'd think one would not be able to say more...stuffed mouth and all. But, NO-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-! Wingnut can still flap his lips. 
I predict this thread will become much longer than it should be. Pressure cookers let off steam, and shrapnel too. BLOWhard. Er, I mean blow HARD.
