This makes me glad I don't live in the US. Its rediculus that something like this could even be mistaken for a bomb. The head lines are still calling it a fake bomb. It doesn't even look like a bomb, doesn't have anything remotely resembling a bomb. Why do they consider anything with exposed electronics a bomb.

A bomb generally required a pressure vessel. No electronics needed. There are many ways to cause an explosion. Electronics are the mainstay of movies but in reality, there are many simpler ways. If someone is going to bomb an airport they are either going to walk in with a well hidden bomb and blow it up or yell out I got a bomb. They are not going to walk up to a desk with it in plain sight and ask when a flight is going to come in.

Why isn't the headline, electronics are not explosives! Or even electronics mistaken for bomb in airport.

Its more likely that anyone carrying a cellphone, laptop, or even a travel mug has a bomb.
