Old man (terrorist) arrested at G20 site Canada.

    Well in fairness wackjobs can be just as dangerous.

    Canadian police Thursday arrested the driver of a car laden with five gas canisters, and an array of weapons close to the Toronto center where G20 leaders will meet.

    The grey-haired, bespectacled driver was hustled away by police after they stopped his car because it was topped with a homemade steel container, AFP reported.

    The metal storage box was riveted together and balanced on some foam as it drove past the Novotel hotel in the center of the city which is hosting world leaders this week.

    "I'm really glad we found this," one policeman told AFP as his colleagues leafed through the contents of the silver Hyundai, which were emptied onto the roadside and surrounded by police cyclists.

    It was the second such arrest in two days, after police on Wednesday arrested a man and a woman in a home close to Toronto, and charged them with possession of explosives.

    Inside the car they found five blue and red fuel canisters, some only partially full, a half-empty bottle of Coke, a bundle of arrows with red and yellow tips, as well as a large chainsaw, the homemade orange steel crossbow and a baseball bat.

    Three medium-sized suitcases were found to be stuffed with batteries, scribbled notebooks, and a copy of "100 ways to Make Money on the Internet."

    Lol, I love the collection of stuff they found and how it ranges from lethal to suspicious to nothing to do with anything.

    Any ideas why the media are not mentioning what looks a lot like the gun among his items ?

    The McGuyver-esque potential of that lot is mindboggling. hey.
