Chip Maker Finds Bombs Among Potatoes

SALEM, Ore. - Workers at a Kettle Foods potato chip plant were feeding potatoes into a machine that sorts out stones and other debris this week when a 3-pound military bomb popped out.

General manager Marc Cramer said the shipment from a Pasco, Wash., farm also contained a second bomb.

Police determined they were dummy military ordnance left over from a time when the military used the farm as a practice bombing range.

Cramer said Kettle Foods has a painstaking inspection process to cull all debris from potatoes.

Maybe we should contract airport security to Kettle Foods?
