Word to the wise: Maybe it's not the smartest thing to jog in what looks like a gas mask and body armor, and then jam a package in a post office box.

It could touch off what happened Tuesday at the busy San Jose post office on Lundy Avenue: a full-scale police response, complete with the bomb squad and a robot.

But San Jose police said the suspicious-looking jogger seen fidgeting with a package at a drop-off box was only working out in hard-core, albeit odd-looking, exercise gear.

"The guy said he was wearing a cardio mask," said Sgt. Jason Dwyer. "It was his cardio day, and he was trying to lose weight."

Haha! I wonder what that would be like to realize. Did he just read the newspaper that day and go "Aww... shit"?

Try jogging in gas mask and body armor in town, And you will see what can happen.
Do you dare?

He wasn't jogging in a gas mask and body armor (and I fail to see why there is anything really wrong with that... little weird but whatever). He's wearing a weighted vest and elevation training mask.

He could be shot to death because of his freaking idea
That's what I meant.

Well... technically he would fine in that event. I mean he does have body armor...

I have weight vests and used an elevation mask when I ran in Portland, and sometimes use it here... not that uncommon for intensive training at low altitudes (kind of hard to train at 5,000 feet when you live at 200 feet). Admittedly I don't typically go to the post office...

Even if it was a gas mask and armor, I don't think it's illegal to be pre-emptive. The aliens could come at any time, man, gotta be prepared.

I'd probably get a few odd looks. Down where I live, there aren't armed police shooting at everyone who looks weird.
