I can see how that would be satisfying.
The number one way to deal with something that “might” be a bomb is to put it in a cool box, blow it up and measure the force, if it’s no strong that what they used to blow it up it wasn’t a bomb. They blew up a fax machine in Tucson Monday. Sometimes the powers that be are over paranoid.
Good. They're obsolete anyways................
I tried to look for an IED fax explosion in Tucson, but came up with this:
When an individual is unable to control aggressive impulses, participates in unprovoked angry and violent behavior, and frequently explodes in verbally aggressive outbursts that are grossly out of proportion to the situation/environment around him or her, it is possible that he or she is suffering from intermittent explosive disorder. Intermittent explosive disorder, also known as IED, can cause people to inadvertently destroy interpersonal relationships, fail in academic or occupational settings, and become isolated and detached from the world around them. Yet, life does not have to be this way because there is help available.

“They blew up a fax machine in Tucson Monday”
My husband would be cheering! He hates them! lol!
More than likely just following protocol. Trying to investigate, instead of following disposal procedures may end up with bomb disposal person becoming the victim.
“The number one way to deal with something that “might†be a bomb is to put it in a cool box, blow it up and measure the force, if it’s no strong that what they used to blow it up it wasn’t a bomb.”
I thought the idea was to separate the components of the bomb (timer, battery, detonator) rather than set off a sympathetic detonation.
Bear in mind I’m not an EOD guy, I can’t run that fast.
