when i was in 9th grade my friend and i decided to build a fertilizer bomb. after searching through both of our garages for supplies, all we could find was weed n' feed. we didn't know if this would work or not, so we decided to scrap the plan and go ride around on my go-kart. the next day the fbi comes and pull us out of class, and explains that someone called the school tip-line and told them about our plan. i still don't really know who it was, but i think it was my ex-step-dad (new step-dad at the time) who was a huge bastard.
anyway, they search my backpack, confiscate my "zelda: ocarina of time" walk-through book*, then proceed to open my locker and sort through all my trash that had built up over the the course of the year. they call me sloppy, then we get in their car and go to my house.
while searching my room one of the fbis finds fire crackers (which are illegal in idaho) in my draw and asks me if i had planned to use a fuse from one of them to set off the fertilizer bomb. right.
in my closet they find my homemade
beige box, which is a phone tapping device, and they ask me what part of the bomb that was going be. best they could figure, it was going to be the timer?? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
after they're finished searching the entire house they confiscate my fire crackers, talk to my mom for a good while (scariest part), and then leave. i guess that was pretty much the end of that. not really illegal, but my best story nonetheless.
* i had already beaten the game several times, so don't get the wrong idea. i was just a huge addict.
