What did she have again? An open circuit board with electronic components attached, dangling wires -- some covered in masking tape, a 9-volt battery (hers was attached), and a handful of Play Doh (which resembles Semtex).
No they didn't "detain" her. They surrounded her with automatic weapons and threatened to blow her brains out if she moved.
