Wow....

I wonder why I didn't see it on the news...?

I would really like to know if they took it inside before or after they identified it as an explosive device.

My guess is before.
Too often I've seen and been in places where bags that have no obvious owner are just picked up and gone through. Whenever someone does it at work I generally yell at them. I've been through enough bomb drills and boring lectures as I know most here have either through military service or association to it, to know. "do not pick up a bloody unattended bag" >:(

That is just careless. Why would someone bring something inside an enclosed space when the person knows that the object is possibly an explosive device. :o

They may not have known for sure if it was a bomb, but they obviously thought it could have been to call the police and have a bomb tech look at it

From what the news here said, they inspected it, scanned it, then brought it inside and that's when it detonated.
