Turd terrorism exposes security lapses

Posted 06.09.2006 by daphne
My husband is currently at Tech Escort School in Alabama, learning how to handle hazardous materials, and I couldn't be happier. Upon his return, he'll receive a huge humpin' pay raise. I'm stoked. The Eberle Paso Robles 2004 Barbera is $25 a bottle. Now I can afford to drink it more than four times a year! For the past month, Mr. Daphne has been doing odd activities like playing basketball and changing tires to assure he is dexterous enough handle viruses, chemical warfare germs, spills, and other gooey messes without having to utter "oops" or "oh shit" while wearing Hazmat suits just like these:

And while it seems that playing basketball may be a weird thing to imagine the men and women in those suits doing, even weirder yet is to look at the picture above and have me tell you what's in the red bag the person in the yellow Hazmat is carrying as if it's going to melt through the plastic and erode the sidewalk beneath: cat poop sandwiches.

The cat poop sandwiches -- yes, cat poop and bread -- arrived at the Lake County Government Center Monday, May 8th, addressed to Superior Court Judge Nicholas Schiralli. Within minutes, the building was put under lockdown, and a Hazardous Materials team was called in to determine the contents of the letter. Eight team members ran tests to determine if the letter or three boxes found the previous day at different locations on the building's exterior contained explosives, radiation, chemical or biological agents. All tests came back negative. (This is, of course, because they did not run the "Codename Sylvester" series.)

The incident not only interfered with a capitol murder case being tried at the building, but also caused many people to be locked in or out of the building for hours, having to change plans with business associates and loved ones via cell phones. The culprit: Richard Carroll, a 42 year-old man with an apparent penchant for the bottle, who was already in jail, having been arrested three days earlier at the "R House of Brews" drinking establishment for "arguing and causing a disturbance." He was at the Lake County jail serving the drunken and disorderly charge he'd earned when the letter he'd sent prior to his arrest arrived.

Detective Robert Bridgeman interviewed Carroll at the jail, where he admitted to the wrongdoing. The month before, Carroll sent a similar package to Lake Superior Court Magistrate Michael Pagano, a judge who had overseen a ruling involving Carroll in yet another matter. Hazmat team members also handled the Pagano affair.

While I would have been totally pissed to have my day stopped dead in its track by this postal turd terrorist, I do find it interesting that Carroll's kitty care packages brought to light problems in the evacuation and disaster procedures that the Government Center had not previously seen. Inconsistent use of metal detectors, an inadequate speaker system, and out-of-date package scanners all came to the forefront.

Thanks to the cat poop incident, each department has updated its evacuation plans, and Lake County Emergency Management Director Jeff Miller has made a point of distributing weather radios to the center for the sharing of information concerning tornados and other catastrophes. The radios had been sitting in his office since 2003. And the building will now be accessible through only three doors, and all employees will have to pass through scanners to enter.

Robert Carroll's need to mail cat poop sandwiches to the various legal officials he felt were hampering his drinking time probably cost Lake County a fair penny, and I will be surprised if he's not fined heavily for the offense. But, let's face it: cat poop is nothing compared to a pipe bomb or anything else he might have gotten his hands on. Leave it to a turd terrorist to show how shitty a government building's security might be.

Show some poop support, or make a poop retort.

Don't get me started on the high security areas I have just waltzed into without anyone noticing. It's funny, because after 9/11 it actually got EASIER. Not that I try to go into these areas, but I have found my way through them for various reasons.

If this country is so terrified of the evil terrorists living under their beds then they should actually work on security. It seems that nothing has been done to improve security, just to gut the constitution.

But then, this isn't really the place for a political debate. Any terrorist shows up at my doorstep, Muslim OR American politician, I will personally slice his throat.

Seriously, though. Usually just try a little and you can get right past security. Keep in mind that trying to be sneaky is usually what gets you caught. Just be straightforward and matter-of-fact and you'll be thought of as just another person, rather than someone trying to infiltrate.

Okay, I wasn't going to post it. I wasn't. But I am. Apologies to the weak of stomach.**

I keep thinking of "Kitty Roca On A Bun", and imagining the crunch and the smear...

**We talk about POOP. How sensitive can we be?

The Dumpster (2505) -- 06.09.2006

Great blog, Daphne!! As a lawyer, I have to deal with going through courthouse security all the time. In my experience, the security guards in these places take their jobs pretty darned seriously. We had a case in Atlanta last fall where the judge told the lawyers to be in her chambers at 8:00 a.m. When we got there, the guards told us no one besides employees were allowed into the courthouse before 8:30. We all had our lawyer I.D. badges, etc., but it was useless. Finally, I came up with the idea of calling the judge on my cell phone, and she had to personally come down to the checkpoint and order the guards to let us through.

Contrast that with a pre-9/11 incident where I was supposed to fly from Atlanta to New Orleans. For reasons which I cannot now remember, I had taken my driver's license out of my billfold and left it at home. Thus, NO PHOTO I.D. to get on the plane!

Believe it or not, I was able to persuade the authorities to let me onto the plane by showing them--

Are you ready for this??--

MY PISTOL LICENSE!!

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 06.09.2006

Your pistol license?!? It's good to know this great government is protecting us citizens from evil terrorists. *note the sarcasm*

It's okay. I wasn't using my civil liberties anyway.

Wow. Daphne, Dave has been begging me to come back to the "Wire", and while I am aware its not a competition, nothing I have ever done in the past compares to what you have submitted recently. Logjam was my IDOL, and still is, to a degree, but Damn, Lady, yer purdy gude!!!

The Dumpster (2505) -- 06.09.2006

Get to work, Bilge. Then, maybe more people will be motivated to send their money to you....

Is Bilbepump going to arrest me? I don't have money to send to him...

Though I have no authority so to speak, I've snuck past security a time or two. I felt guilty, as I have anxiety, but I did no harm and no one bothered me.

Bilgepump (1676) -- 06.09.2006

I never have, nor will condone turd terror...but I admit to such a crime, sometime ago, covered here:http://www.poopreport.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=44759

I'm not proud of what we did, but at the time it was hilarious, and my brother and I still laugh about it to this day. WE do feel bad about leaving the mess, and I'll probabaly have to do something to alleviate my guilt, and write a letter of apology to the owners and the housekeeping staff of the motel.

sharty mcfly (211) -- 06.10.2006

on the topic of poor security, one time in boston i was given jury duty. it sucked ass, but it really made me wonder about the security in place. after the initial pat down and etc and i'd been in the pool for awhile we were allowed out to the outside world for a smoke break and given a little card that said we could get back in no problem. At that time it was my custom to wear this big woolen millitary surplus overcoat (it was cold, and the thing was from canada) so i went out, smoked my smoke and then came back in. to my amazement i was let around the metal detectors with the mere flash of nothing more then a colored piece of paper with a scribbled signature. A sharp terrorist could either have A. intercepted jury duty papers and gotten the same pass for himself left, and returned with a weapon, B. taken my little card while i was smoking or C. done some surveillance and faked a card. and as far as the overcoat it was surely sufficient to cover up a bomb, or even a full length rifle or shotgun. on the issue of cat shit sandwiches, that is so damn random.

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 06.10.2006

Sharty, I wondered the same thing when I was on jury duty a few years back. Portland works on the same system as Boston, obviously.

Kitty Roca is a lot less severe than what hazmat teams sometimes have to deal with. As for security, you'd think they would at least check IDs or something. Seriously, a scribbled piece of paper could get to anyone, allowing them back in.

Maybe if we would all send our money to Bilgepump, he could become President, and we could sleep soundly at night.

Has it occurred to anybody else that the guys in the picture look like the Teletubbies?

GottaGoGirl (2616) -- 06.11.2006

Or maybe like "BooBah".

"Teletubbies" is weird.

"BooBah" is INSUFFERABLE.

Daphne-- Has your husband had the HazMat Suit Exercise, yet, of kicking someone's butt because he got called "BooBah"? I'm sick that week.

I have just noticed that they do look like that somewhat. Hmm, intersting...

Dumpster, I question whether Bilgepump is getting all of the money sent to him through you...

Bilge is getting his fair share. In reality, though, Dave (well, actually, this site) is who needs your money, and everybody else's. Please go to the PR homepage today, and set up a recurring monthly donation of $5 to this great web site.

Now who here cannot afford $5 per month for all the fun we have?

Maybe soom you'll get to see the nice art I made to make donations to Dave a little more attractive. It ain't perfect, but I'd say it looks pretty good, especially considering my low level of skills. I gave it a shot, though.

Actually, the purple BooBah is Mr. Daphne's favorite. What a load that show is. I bought him a BooBah towel for his birthday last year as a gag, and he uses it. Yes, a 210 pound, tatooed, big bald guy mincing out of the shower with terry-cloth BooBahs girding his loins. It's worth the 8 bucks I spent just for that. I can look back in thirty years after I outlive him and say, "I remember the time he was outfitted in a BooBah towel..."

There's something about the stupid farting and dancing and the crazy-ass Samba Scouts music. It's as if Paul Simon went on a 34 day 'shrooms trip and was only allowed access to the instruments from the "Romper Room" set.

To each his own? I don't watch it per se', but I sure like when that's the show on in the Pediatric Clinic and the kids happen to be sick or need a checkup.

On a second note, I'd love to get the Shit Volcano started on the subject of high security places. It can't be an uninteresting rant she'd have.

Back to the hazmat team...

Someone in one of the bathrooms here (the one that keeps getting abused) apparently was piss drunk and puked on the floor and walls Friday night, only for it to sit there festering until the hazmat team could come in this morning. The nice ladies who normally go in there have no reason to have to clean that up. They have done nothing bad to us whatsoever. Infact we probably owe them more than the fees we pay.

Before 9-11, I walked into the airport, and got on a plane (to Canada) carrying a Leatherman (knife) which went thru the X-ray and fishing hooks (sharp) and cuticle scissors. After 9-11, they took the cuticle scissors and I didn't have the leatherman or hooks.
