so some employee of the airport placed dry ice in bottles and went around stashing them in different locations.

law enforcement and the media INSIST on referring to this as a "bomb"
it's not a bomb!
it's a child's prank , ...fun with science.

they keep saying "bomb" and they're going to charge this guy with serious sht.
the media says "he was able to detonate the bomb"
what detonate? ... twisting the cap?

so some guy from LAPD actually breakes the mold and calls it a "prank"

the government says no this is serious sht , some Korean guy was killed when someone put dry ice in a GLASS bottle.
plastic, glass, a whole world of difference, but the dumb public doesn't need it explained.

so now, every time a kid places dry ice in a bottle it's going to go into the "bomb" statistics of the country.
then, you're going to hear some left-wingnut tell us America has the most violence in the world
 
It is my understanding it was a prank, but that isn't mutually exclusive from it being dangerous and this guy needing to be charged with serious shit.

What does a bomb do? It explodes...
