It doesn't resemble a bomb. I know you cannot understand that, but it doesn't. It doesn't matter what you think. When expert witnesses testify what a bomb looks like and why this doesn't look like a bomb, and when they examine Ms Moncayo and discover she has no clue what a bomb looks like, and when they examine the troopers and discover they have not training to identify what a bomb looks like, despite being responsible for airport security it won't matter what you think.
The experts will establish that it doesn't look like a bomb and the folks that thought it did are ill-trained morons who haven't a clue.
Was Ms Moncayo wrong to call in her suspicions? No. Was Pare wrong to check it out? No. Did it require a horde with automatic weapons to respond and threaten deadly force? Well there we start running into questions, especially when Pare suggests she might have been killed. What is clearly wrong is that when it turned out to be nothing they should have let it drop with an apology. Instead they have chosen to make a federal case out of it.
Since apparently a bomb’s appearance falls under a very narrow description, please, in 20 words or less describe what every bomb used in the last 10 years looks like.
