Finding the 7th chevron - did they screw up? - Page 4 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Despite the possibilities of a bomb, they KNEW (or VERY strongly suspected it was a transport device),

a) because otherwise there would have been more shielding
b) they wouldn't have a ramp ready
c) or a prototype MALP ready
d) or have the biodisintegration scanner ready
e) or all the astro-navigation charts and trackers

But, in reconsideration, given the power involved, they may have been sensible and decided to wait.

Who are we kidding?? This is the US military, who laugh at computer models and would rather just test fire missiles/bombs and see what happens. They are sufficiently gung-ho, even with strong shaking, to just try-it-and-see.... IMHO!

Well, who knows?
I guess they should've explained (in other words, make something up for Carter to say

) in the movie or AT LEAST in the series (I mean, they haven't brought it up in 5 years!)
