The Daily Dump Blogspot has been updated with a picture file of a flyer that was distributed to local residents of the Bethlehem, PA area. The flyer was telling locals about the coming events that will take place during the filming of Transformers 2.

Residents can expect "military helicopters, large scale pyrotechnics, prop guns and squibs, and large lights" to be part of the filming experience. The flyer also covers the times in which the filming is scheduled to take place and addresses concerns residents may have about the filming.

From what I understand, they'll be filming at 'Bethlehem Steel' the steel factory the town is most known for. Thats the area the the 'Chinese' city attack will take place.

What's a squib?

Seems like I've heard it in Harry Potter before, but not in relation to movies, or the military--that I can place.

To Michael Bay: A squib is a small explosive device used in a wide range of industries, from special effects to military applications.

To Harry Potter: A Squib is a non-magical person who is born to at least one magical parent.[1] Squibs are, in essence, the opposite of Muggle-born witches and wizards.

Talk about two different worlds eh?
