Fort Bragg in North Carolina was put on high alert on Friday night as a soldier dressed as a suicide bomber for Halloween.

 

Fort Bragg officials said the costume came with a simulated explosive vest, according to WGHP.

 

“The incident resulted in an emergency response, Explosive Ordnance Disposal clearing the entire scene and an extended closure of a gate,” a Fort Bragg statement said.

 

The Fayetteville Observer reported that ordinance disposal team forced the gate to be closed for an extended period of time.

*facepalm* This is more boneheaded (and potentially dangerous) than the surprise law school evidence class demonstration of the unreliability of eyewitness testimony FreshFluff asked about recently.

He can be glad he was not summarily defused.

Wow. That sounds like so much fun. Next year I'm so going dressed as one as a gag in the Airport. Think of the fun to be had on that. Not.
