If you have ever been to a trade show, or convention that has a bunch of booths or vendors, then you know about the schwag - you know the gimmes that everyone gives out.
Pens, and pads of papers are commonplace, but there is always some really cool stuff that is passed out, and if you are lucky enough to be walking around when the booths are active, you can pick up a few cutesy items.
But there are some serious items too.
At the Bio 2007 Convention that I just attended in Boston, there were 22,000 plus attendees and every state in the country and every country in the world was represented. Think of what they all brought with them - tons (literally!) of items.
But of all the pens, candy, shirts and stuff I got, nothing, and I do mean nothing, compared with the items that our own FBI was giving out. Yup, the US FBI had a booth at the show, and it was manned, I think as a recruiting method more than anything.
So what could the FBI be giving out that piqued my interest?? Well check it out:
Yup, you see it! A POCKET GUIDE TO Weapons of Mass Destruction! Indeed a POCKET guide!
I WILL NEVER LEAVE HOME WITH OUT THIS!

Did the WMD brochure include helpful step by step lessons on how to build your own bioreactor, or was it more of the "duct tape and plastic sheeting" kinda thing?
My older brother, Lt Colonel Major, is the commander of the 12th WMD CST based out of Concord NH. Check out this site to assure yourself that our federal government has better plans than duct tape and plastic. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/army/wmd-cst.htm
