Has anyone ever considered the fact that ITX computer cases with windows could look like bombs?

Guest

I mean, not everyone knows what the inside of a computer looks like, and does anyone know a scenario where someone thought a computer case was a bomb?

That yellow Corsair case (carbide something I think) could look like one.

I could only see this happening with either the TSA or some sensitive brainwashed idiot.

Dont be too suprised. My mum brought this on a plane and they had to check if it was a bomb.

It was with a clock.

Everybody went ape shit over it and the thing is the teacher that found it did exactly what she was suppose to do. The fact it was made by a Muslim kid she got shit for it, if it had been a white kid he would have been taken out of school and possibly arrested, and POTUS wouldn't have said what he did.

it would be to small for a bomb unless it detonates a 1/10th of a C4 stick doing very little.

maybe if it had a temp sensor or timer on it, but if a suitcase is a bomb then anything can be a bomb...

Honestly it would do quite a bit of damage, I could make a very potent one that size. But that is not the point and I would not do it anyhow.

I am guessing you have no or very little experience with explosives.

It was not a small pencil case. I know pictures where not released publicly but from what I saw the box used could have held more than a few sticks of c4.

Even a small pencil case could still make a dent with c4, It is potent stuff if done right. Seen a grenade lately?

The TSA doesn't really do much in terms of security, they mostly just steal your shampoo and grope you so they can appear to make things safer.

If the wires were messy enough and the case was quite blank, it could be mistaken for a bomb.
