Bus Driver In Trouble For Trying To Deliver Bombs To Police

A school bus driver in Hempstead, N.Y. found a pair of pipe bombs in her driveway last Friday. Since she has spent years of her life dealing with some of the most dangerous creatures on the planet, New York public school students, she didn't think twice about wrapping them up in a towel, putting them in the bus, and hand delivering them to the local police station. The police on the other hand didn't think it was such a good idea and told her to pull over immediately after she called and told them her plans. An Atlantic Express spokeswoman, the driver's employer, said, "It's unacceptable in every possible way. She will not be driving for this company again."

Uh... what was she supposed to do?

Leave them on her driveway and wait for someone to drive over them, causing an explosion?

Err, leave them there and call the police? How is it reasonable to handle explosives at all? Nevermind drive them somewhere.

No common sense

I'd say somebody with the bad judgment to pick up a bomb and play with it should never have been a school bus driver in the first place, but as the assistant superintendent of Forest Grove School District told me: "We pay these people $10 an hour for a 15 hour week... how qualified to you really expect them to be?"
