“Tell me since you are such a genius? What does a bomb look like?”

I don’t have a single answer to that, since bombs can look many, many different ways.

Of course, according to you, you can always tell, even at a glance, what ISN’T a bomb, Mr. expert.

Of course, that’s not enough. You revile anyone who isn’t just as perfect in such evaluation.

I haven’t a clue? You are so far from reality in this, I’m surprised you’re not talking backwards.

Well, it wasn't a bomb, but according to you and your crowd this girl is guilty because the security folks suspected that it might be a bomb.

There are three choices here:
1. It was a bomb
2. It was not a bomb, but a (deliberate) hoax
3. None of the above.

My argument is that just because the security folks were suspicious does not mean that she was not innocent.

It does not look like a bomb and the girl did not try to convince anyone that it was a bomb.

But I am arguing with the idiot who thinks there is no difference in meaning between "left" and "fled."

After withdrawing cash from my ATM, I "left" the bank.
After holding up the teller, the bank robber "fled" the bank.

A police officer would have probable cause for a stop on #2, but not on #1. They are not subtle.
