VIDEO: IED Mitigation Cartoon From World War 2

One of the most entertaining and unusual pieces of improvised explosive device  mitigation pieces I've ever watched. It hails from World War II. Warning: This video is from an era when political correctness was not a part of modern society.

From the site archive.org where I found this gem of American military history:

Private Snafu learns about the hazards of enemy booby traps the hard way.

This is one of 26 Private SNAFU ('Situation Normal, All Fouled Up) cartoons made by the US Army Signal Corps to educate and boost the morale the troops. Originally created by Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and Phil Eastman, most of the cartoons were produced by Warner Brothers Animation Studios - employing their animators, voice actors (primarily Mel Blanc) and Carl Stalling's music.

Ten of the Craziest Security Awareness Posters (And Yes, I Made a Few Of Them Myself)

Today, on Twitter, I've been linking various security awareness posters. While many of these posters are very creative, they do send very ominous messages regarding the consequences of security violations. Because they tend to be overly dramatic and are seemingly outdated at times, they provide for a good chuckle every now and then.  I've even included some I made when I was a young security manager in the Air Force for good measure.  Enjoy.
