As a retired EOD tech I will state for the record that a bomb dog will alert on something as simple as a "
dry erase marker" seen it personally many a time........
Fido is far from perfect but usually fails on the " false alert" versus no alert at all side of caution. Dog alerts on a device the K9 handler will then contact LEO Bomb Squad or Military EOD who will act upon such every time.
Stay Safe !

Just for info, pipe bombs are very common to those NOT trained in explosives or the manufacture of booby traps.
Why? The VAST majority of times, pipe bombs split or blow off the end caps and thus are far less effective than the bomb maker thinks they will be. This is especially true if the bomb maker uses a low speed explosive like gun powder. It also has to do with the rather inconsistant manufacture of the pipe metal itself.
Far more dangerous would be someone who used a 55 gallon drum and a high speed explosive. The drum most likely would be distroyed in the explosion and the explosion would have a larger overall distructive nature.

4-7 pipe bombs are probably an amateur effort, not one from Al-Qaeda.
When they decide to set some explosives off, they will cause some serious damage in a planned spot.

Thank God we homeschool.

I have to chuckle over this one. This'll be the most exciting thing that's happened in Barnesville for a long long time. They'll still be talking about this when I eventually come back to the States and move back to Spalding Co. A small group of us used to ride down to Barnesville after Sunday evening church service and have a meal in the Pizza Hut. The most excitement they have in Barnesville is the Barnesville Buggy Days. Sleepy little town...
I imagine they'll find the idiot that did this pretty quickly- they don't have so many suspects to choose from. There's only about 15,000 people in the whole county. The perp is going to be like a little kid wondering how his parents know he was the one that broke the vase,
'How, y'all know it was me?'
'Cause you only the only nut job we got in town Billy Ray... Now turn around and put your hands on the car.'

'How, y'all know it was me?'
'Cause you only the only nut job we got in town Billy Ray... Now turn around and put your hands on the car.' I see we both grew up in a small town and rural county.
Were Grant County, OK were the subject, the result would be identical. Save the perp would've been named 'J.W.'...

I think Mr. Puckett was a member of the Kentucky Militia
jailed for a inert metal part for a rifle he didn't own!

Hell, we use pipe bombs for fishing down here. What's the big deal, y'all?
