If I could talk to the bomber, I'd want to know- why actually use explosives? At the moment the main explosion goes off, your plot is over and your bomb is useless. At that point, you're not getting any money, and it's now a question of "will you get caught by the feds". And if you do get caught, having used dud explosives can only be to your benefit.
- slazaro 11y agoMy guess is that maybe dogs can sniff the device and check whether it's actually TNT or dynamite.
- knodi123 11y agoexcept they didn't, and couldn't. I was suggesting using clay or putty, perhaps with a light sprinkling of TNT for flavor. THAT would be equally terrifying but much less dangerous.
- gwern 11y agoYou only need enough to make the dog alert, which is not much at all. Dogs don't weigh, they detect.
- targetOO 11y agoLets say you don't get caught. Device 2 is going to get a whole lot more respect.
