Pardon my ignorance - but why do they blow up these things if they think they're bombs?
So they don't go off in an un-contained area. They are blown up in a place where nobody is, or in a container that is proofed such that the explosion won't hurt anyone.
But look at the video - if it were a really powerful bomb I'd think that the shrapnel could've easily flown to where they show the crowd being taped off.
Hm
Perhaps that particular method is designed such that exploding the device from outside would cause the shrapnel/ball bearings to not eject.
edit - What I'm trying to say is that while everyone in charge of what the bomb squad does is stupid, the bomb squad knows what they're doing.
I'm sure the bomb squad has more intelligence than the politicians by far - their method in this case just seems unorthodox given how many different types of weapons could be deployed in a box like that - nuclear, biochemical, highly explosive, etc.
Forgive me if this has been answered but im not reading all of this shit.
Bomb squads detonate explosive devices with small charges (relativly) as a means of "dismantling" the bomb. The concept is that most explosive compounds are not reactive to shock, such as dropping them. the idea is if that you blow up a large bomb, with a smaller controled one, you remove triggering devices; and serperate the bomb into smaller components that alone will not function. Thus not triggering the larger more destructive bomb.
Though as i did see one person mention you may be releasing a chemical/biological agent by accident. Thusly you have to inspect the bomb before blowing it up.
I wonder what would happen if we all went to boston, each of us with a backpack, gathered around a public square or something and precisely at the same time, dropped our back packs and ran?
Other then being arrested, I wonder if people would panic.

I thought maybe you were pretending to be stupid earlier...
While I was in the airport in Paris, they shut the whole place down because of a suspicious piece of luggage that no one had claimed for over an hour.
They ushered my whole group of like 100 people into a tunnel that was supposed to protect us.
From what I asked?
They were blowing up the suitcase.
Now, initially, I thought this was a horrible idea.. but there, in the distance, I saw my future. A few moments later, they blew the whole suitcase up, and when it was free to go back into customs, I was in the front of the line.. rather than the back.
So when I heard the shreaking of an angry french woman, cussing out the bomb squad for blowing up her panties. I smiled to myself, and thanked her for her irresponsibility.
I'm now an expert on Boston...all of New England in fact.
Dyna you couldn't even find a one-armed midget in a bar in Boston.
I found a two armed midget. I think you ask for too much. I also found a very odd, drunken entrepeneur of some sort that spoke of ex-model wives, Gaia, cocaine parties in Brazil, and he dragged me to one of the saddest examples of a stripclub that I have ever witnessed.

All of which still leaves you an expert at losing to me at ping pong, and nothing more.

You'd "lose" your paddle and then sulk the entire time. I know your game.

My sulking game is A+ -- your scouts have delivered you accurate reports.
Unfortunately this just means I will now have to begin carrying my paddle with me everywhere. It is hardly a sacrifice (although my bosses might wonder a bit).
this is where the bomb truck was parked and where they cordoned off part of the street. note the guy in the heavy armor/bear suit.
the device in question, after being blowed up
the armor guy checking the detonated device out
whatever they used to detonate it was strong enough to slightly shake all our office's windows. the police you see in the pics were laughing the whole time.
People should start leaving extremely non-suspicioius things around Boston with a sign that says THIS IS NOT A BOMB attached to them. Like a basketball, or a ham sandwich, or a playing card, or a GI Joe, etc.

Edit: Please don't make my text that obnoxious when you quote me.
That's my job.
Then wouldn't it be smarter to have the robot wear mittens and carry the damn box around? Or do we need a robot to think that idea up for us?

Or maybe start selling "Not a bomb." stickers around town for a few bucks each.
Actually, I lied. I don't wish I lived in Boston at all.

Pure unadulterated american stupidity.

But yeah, they blew her luggage up. Retards.
It wasn't even clever.
Or do the police just look at an object and say "Yeah, this'll be fun to blow up."
