New $100 bills stolen en route to Fed facility

[a kennedy]

Unknown thieves stole a "large amount" of newly-designed $100 bills bound for a Federal Reserve facility in New Jersey on Thursday, the FBI said.

Frank Burton, Jr., spokesman for the FBI's Philadelphia division, said the theft occurred at some point between when the shipment of bills landed at the Philadelphia airport on a commercial flight from Dallas at 10:20 Thursday morning, and when the shipment reached its New Jersey destination around 2:00 p.m., when the courier service transporting the bills reported some missing.

Burton declined to comment on the amount taken, but said it was substantial.

"We're following all logical leads," he said.

3. one freakin minute here,

DO THEY THINK THIS IS IRAQ???????

Seriously, bills get loaded on a truck to go to the airport, bills get loaded on the plane to go to Philadelphia, plane lands in Philadelphia, bills get loaded on a truck to go to New Jersey. Courier service reports some missing. WTF is wrong with this story? Hell, if you steal a candybar at wallmart they'll kill you in the parking lot, they have enough cameras to see it all.. Does anyone know where Chris Christy was during that time frame?

You're one for those infuriating people in line ahead of me that uses a CC to buy a pack of gum or cup of coffee... aren't you?

I have one credit card and rarely use it.

What about people that have bad credit and are ineligible for a CC?

Cash is king.

Why anyone would want to, or willingly give the government more authority to trace or track peoples spending is beyond me.

11. Yes, yes, yes, the government is so concerned with how much groceries or gas you are buying

Jeez

Or let me guess, I don't understand how much of a danger you are to the system and the CIA is constantly putting chips in your brain already.
