they are saying the bomb or dynamite was wrapped in red electrical tape and not the sticks..I believe the original states "some sort of tape holding them together" something like that.
Here is Tina's total testimony word for word - from all files. I prepared a file for the Marine guy here who was going to duplicate the bomb and test it ...
Tina testimony is:
Her best recollection is that it was while he told her he wanted no “funny stuff” that he partially opened the briefcase more and he permitted her to see the contents (of the case).
She recalls the contents of the case as approximately eight cylindrical objects about six to eight inches long with four of the items being placed on top of the others and banded together with tape. She also recalls some covered and uncovered wiring running from the cylindrical objects to a dry cell type battery which had terminals on one end. She could not recall if the wires were connected to the terminals. The battery was described as approximately eight inches long and about two and one-half in diameter. She states that she had the impression seeing the contents that (it could be) dynamite; however, she is unfamiliar with the (exact) appearance of dynamite and could only describe it as stated above, adding that it (the sticks) were a “reddish rusty color”.
Mucklow sat next to the man and shortly thereafter he opened a black cheap appearing imitation leather attache case and showed her a device, with eight red cylindarsand a wire running from the cylindars toward a large 6x8x2” battery. The wire had a red plastic coating on it except for the last inch which was bare and the man was holding between his fingers. He told (me) it was an electronic device and suggested the aircraft radio be used as little as possible. He then said ‘he didn’t think radio transmissions would bother it, but he wanted the crew warned’ .
(7:55pm pst) NWA - MSPFO asked for stewardess best recollection of exact content
of HJ briefcase. She got on radio and gave the following basic information:
_ Eight red sticks, about 6” x1” in left corner of brief case. “Look like big
firecrackers.” Two rows of sticks. Four on top of four.
_ Wire attached to dynamite with red insulation.
_ Battery “like flashlight battery but about 6” high and as big around as my
arm”.
_ Red sticks are about the color “of my uniform”.
7:57 pm t1 [ Mucklow describes bomb to Gnd Control …]
MSP: Have stewardess describe to you the brief case contents. Understand red dynamite sticks wire and battery
305: Mucklow: In briefcase left corner had 8 sticks of dynamite about 6 inches
long and 1 inch in diameter. Two rows of them then a wire out of there.
Then a battery like, a flashlight battery only as thick as my arm and 8
inches long.
MSP: Roger.
There is nothing about red tape in any of this ... FJ says its in some FBI file ? which file where ?
FLYJACK's source as usual is one 302 ... not actual Tina testimony. FJ always goes for some outlyer document while also saying 302s are not trustworthy! FJ uses 302s wen its convenient then dismisses them a minute later as unreliable. That has been his technique since he first surfaced years ago ... here is his 302 - I will look it up...
