Seriously. When I first saw the headline, I thought it was fake. And this'll give me a chance to use the underappreciated marquee tag!
Some may argue that a burrito may indeed be a weapon... like, a weapon of "gas" destruction. Or something. Anyways, this was my favorite line:
The drama ended two hours later when the suspicious item was identified as a 30-inch burrito filled with steak, guacamole, lettuce, salsa and jalapeños and wrapped inside tin foil and a white T-shirt.
You know what's
really funny? The fact that they took the time to detail exactly what was in the burrito... as if a bean burrito would be easier to recognize or something.

"weapon of gas destruction" bahahaha - can you imagin his threats? "Stand back, just stand back or I'll take a bite!!" Others around him obviously frightened...
"Look out! He's bending over!"
"Oh my God, he's putting out his finger."
"Don't pull it!!!!!"

Seriously, in Tintin's hand (or gastrointestinal tract) that burrito
should prompt a lockdown.
I have no idea what's wrong with him, but sweet jesus does his abdomen produce the worst things in the history of ever.

Two thoughts:
A 30" burrito? Why would someone even have a burrito that big?
It's interesting that someone is so paranoid that any strange object being carried into a school is instantly a weapon.

SF Chick -- in the news story, it says the kid was doing an extra credit assignment to "create commercial advertising for a product," and his idea was a restaurant that specialized in "oddly large burritos."

well, I suppose with guac, salsa and jalapenos, all you'd need is a lighter and a gas attack for it to be dangerous. LOL
What gets me is they can't catch half the guns that the kids bring into schools nowadays, but they can call out the swat team for a burrito.
