Okay folks one last question on this an I'm not a conspiracy nut BUT with most bombs ( I don't know SOP on this) the bomb squad comes in with a robot, eyeballs the thing from a 1/4 mile away and then they blow the package. I can guess the bomb squad figured out which package it was...bomb sniffing dogs or the people( Saudi's ) who called this in paid back the waffling kowtow'er. What I don't understand is was the printer packaged and if so how did they know the bomb would not go off when opening the printer? If NOT packaged, what bombmaker in his own right mind would leave wires hanging out. Granted again sh*t happens and we did have a shoe bomber that tried lighting a match to a fuse but this was an electronic wired bomb.
It was SOPHISTICATED wasn't it? So, if so sophisticated why take a chance? Granted these nutballs are ingenious and of course nefarious but this whole thing confuses me. Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill here?
