“Officers secured the scene and called the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). ATF sent a specialist down to disarm the explosives.”

Bullock said the explosives turned out to be nearly three pounds of C4 explosives along with blasting caps.

Unless the blasting caps were inserted into the plastique with a means to generate the pulse of energy, there's nothing to "disarm." Dang I used to heat C-rats with a small cube of C4. Burns hot as heck. You just have to remember to blow it out with a puff of air from your mouth rather than stamp on it with your boot, or you'll blow your foot off. So some federal schmuck gets to play hero like he was risking life and limb. Wonder if he got a date from some grateful farm girl....

It still makes one wonder what it was doing in the car.
