If I've learned anything about engineers it's that they rig dumb shit sometimes. People do handle explosives for a gag, there is an entire holiday dedicated to it, there's also the rest of the year during which people are content fucking with tannerite as well as guns, both very deadly. That being said, on rereading it, it was probably fictional, just oddly written and with a context that makes the satire a bit odd to me.
