Sometimes there is a Silver Lining - even in the burning of a US Flag

That flag did more about it than BO did.. 
I think toxic flags should be standard issue for the Diplomatic Corps in that area of the world..
Kinda like a poisonous snake.. Just don't touch it. Leave it alone and you'll fare better..

Wasn't intended to be "toxic."  The flag was Made in China out of arsenic, lead, and carcinogenic isolates. 

But you're right, Santahog, they should be standard issue.

In the early days of flag burnin', when flags were made in the good ole U.S. of A., they never had this problem.  Maybe outsourcing isn't such a bad thing after all.

I forsee a new gub'mint commission looking into safe flag burning practices and materials, complete with pamphlets and awareness campaign.

We not only have to make our flags so that burners die from burning it, but also that rippers die from ripping it. Then my company can make the gloves that allow our people to handle it without harm. Then, of course, my company can make the gloves for export, but those won't protect anyone they'll actually start the flag fire on contact! Hell, why not make a little profit for ourselves while we are at it?

When it comes time to retire the flag, toxic smoke would be a bad thing.

If its a "weaponized" flag I think you can just throw it away. Either that or donate it to Iranian Embassy.
