INFERNAL MACHINE

You may have heard of the ‘bomb scare‘ in Boston last night over the imminent threat of a Mooninite attack. While the situation is both hilarious and depressing, the law that the Mooninites violated is also pretty funny:

(b) For the purposes of this section, the term “hoax device” shall mean any device that would cause a person reasonably to believe that such device is an infernal machine. For the purposes of this section, the term “infernal machine” shall mean any device for endangering life or doing unusual damage to property, or both, by fire or explosion, whether or not contrived to ignite or explode automatically. For the purposes of this section, the words “hoax substance” shall mean any substance that would cause a person reasonably to believe that such substance is a harmful chemical or biological agent, a poison, a harmful radioactive substance or any other substance for causing serious bodily injury, endangering life or doing unusual damage to property, or both.

So yes, a lite brite is now an ‘infernal machine’. 9/11 changed everything.
