Problem is, you get a bunch of pranksters who leave a hundred empty backpacks in a hundred transportation hubs around the country, we then bring the WHOLE NATION TO A STANDSTILL while all the nervous nellies "evacuate" (in both senses of the word).
Sometimes you just gotta keep calm and carry on, as the old sign says.

That account is sanitized somewhat.
At the time, accounts were that he had turned away from the stadium gates because of the backpack checks going on.
Even though TATP (AKA: "Mother of Satan") is nasty stuff, it is likely that more people would have been killed in the ensuing panic than by direct effects of the explosion.

A few weeks after the bombing, I found myself at the Topeka Federal Building, to watch our Polish chaplain become a US citizen.
At least two dozen Iraqis also became US citizens that day. I always thought that was weird...sure seemed like alot of Iraqis for Kansas.
