[/quote] True, could be for calibration as well. 1 blk c4 = 1.25 lbs , 700lbs = @ 560 blocks TSA responsible for approx 450+ airports = a little over a block each. It is still a little strange to give out a block of HE to 450 different places when local police /FBI have those resources. [/quote] Don't forget the ATF. Seems a tad reckless to have a pound of C-4 controlled by the TSA at each major airport. [/quote]
