And gee, thinking these things might be explosive devices is almost as silly as...hmmm...flying airplanes into building? Or how about putting explosives into the soles of shoes? Or maybe it's as silly as thinking a pregnant woman might actually be wearing a bomb vest?

So any pregnant woman walking around in public is obviously committing a bomb scare?

No, it's much, much sillier. Airplanes, flown into buildings, are potent weapons. A long history of aviation accidents, terrorist plans, and terrorist attacks proves this. Bomb vests are potent weapons. A long history of terrorist attacks proves this. In a confined area, even a shoe bomb may be a potent weapon. Reasoning about the effect of small explosives in airborne planes proves this. These tiny devices, in their context, could not have been potent weapons. Not unless you throw out all experience and reasoning, and operate on fantasy alone.
