Default New Market Opportunity

Looks like I can start marketing "bomb clearance" with my inspection. As a Senior EOD Tech I could take a whack at a "bomb inspection sop". Maybe I should put together a course on how to sweep a property for explosive devices. What do you think? And I wonder what I should charge? Any ideas.

Or maybe we all need to add an explosive device disclaimer to our agreements.

Here's a link to the bomb story http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30723262/

Since it's coming on memorial day let me encourage everyone to remember those who have paid the price for all of us.

Of course there is something satisfying about using the real estate agent as a human mine detector.

You are right Pete. It could start ticking any time. I wonder what my insurance carrier would say. Think I can get coverage?
