If somebody wants to plant a bomb, they're gonna plant a bomb. And if we catch them, we're going to throw the book at them. If somebody plants a fake bomb, if we catch them, we're going to throw the book at them. If somebody plants 38 fake bombs, we're going to throw the book at them over and over again.
Works for me.
Fake bombs? Who planted 38 fake bombs?
What if someone builds 38 devices that are not "fake bombs," don't look like "fake bombs," and were never intended to be "fake bombs," and the local idiots in charge overreact when a couple of morons think the (obviously not bomb) devices are bombs?
No one planted a fake bomb, the cops were stupid as usual.
