Texas Terrorism? or "Bigger Bang for the Buck!"

Exploding laptops prompt Dell safety recall Andrew Clark in New York Tuesday August 15, 2006 The Guardian A Dell laptop.

The recall, announced last night at Dell's headquarters in Texas, is the largest in the history of the US electronics industry, according to the US consumer product safety commission.

Pete's Points
Why worry about laptops and fluids being brought on board air craft by terrorists in their hand luggage?

It's bad enough to have the Texas based US company exporting their 'bombs' into the households of 'innocent civilians' and actually advertising 'free delivery'.

Just kidding folks.

However, considering that George Bush, the former Governor of Texas blames others for creating mayhem with their weapons of mass destruction and terror tactics, I think it is ironic that a company in his home state is now getting this sort of attention.

It also gives a new dimension to the notion of getting a bigger bang for the buck!

Which reminds me - I had better check on the serial number of the battery in MY Dell computer!
