Did some knucklehead actually think the San Diego
tower webcast was aiding terrorism??

Apparently you thought it might. :-)

Otherwise, why would you conclude that it was security concerns that stopped
the webcast?

Well, 2+2 = 5 right?

Actually, the thought hadn't crossed my mind until I came across a
page w/ a link to the SD tower webcast. He cut the link and said he
had been "asked" to remove it. Weird.

Check out this site for Northeast ATC incl. centers, tracon, towers for BOS,
JFK, CLE, BDL..

I used to listen to live ATC webcasts a couple of years ago and was
able to get LAX, DFW, Ohare, etc. Now the only link I can find is for
SoCal approach. The rest of the links are offline, some w/ messages
stating they were requested to stop transmission, etc. Is this due to
security concerns? Did some knucklehead actually think the San Diego
tower webcast was aiding terrorism?? What's next? A top secret
clearance for a wx brief? There are far too many people running
around like headless chickens over terrorism restrictions.

What? What is that used for, other than food? What's the ingredient
that's relevant to the topic at hand?

Cinnamon, in certain quantities, is a poison.

Ya, so is nutmeg. But he was talking about bomb making material. So,
what's the connection?

Many years ago Clark Kent as a boy wanted to make his own firecrackers. He
told his mother he needed some cinnamon.... The whole story, of course, was
another learning experience with a moral for a boy who would grow up to
become Superman. Obviously, no Superman comic would tell kids what they
really need to make firecrackers.

I included it in the list simply out of nostalgia.

Hey! Watch out! I have gallons and gallons of dihydrogen monoxide stored
here, and I even brought bottles of it along on my recent flight where I
overflew the airspaces of some major airports!

You think it's not dangerous? Check he http://www.dhmo.org/

Cinnamon is used in sticky bombs.

My Organic Chem lab T.A. had us write out the lethal ways that water
can kill you / hurt you on EVERY lab. I'll never forget:

Can cause drowning if inhaled into the lungs in quantities greater
than 2 tablespoons.

Can cause excessive urination if large quantities are consumed.

Can cause kidney failure if EXTREMELY large quantaties are consumed
over a large period of time (12 hours).

Cinnamon AND dihydrogen monoxide (or anything really) can kill in high
enough doses. Cinamon is JUST as dangerous as tweezers.
