Former Bomb Tech Tom Sauer on Twitter

(THREAD) A few observations from a former bomb disposal officer (i.e. Me):
1. Proper pipe bombs don't have wires connected to both ends. That's dumb.
1. Proper pipe bombs don't have wires connected to both ends. That's dumb.
2. You can find timers / remote control receivers WAY smaller than whatever that white box is. A proper timer would best be stored inside the pipe, making it fully encapsulated. That thing is just silly looking.
3. "Hoax Devices" are FAR more common than real ones. In which case, we should ask ourselves what the motives of the "bomber" are and "who benefits?"
Go ahead. Think deeply and critically.
4. Bottom Line: Whoever made that wanted it to be painfully obvious to anyone and everyone that it's a "bomb."
This is nearly the same as a bundle of road flares wrapped together with an old-timey alarm clock ticking away.

I knew more would come out on these lies. CNN reported Trump got one and then took it back. They probably meant the Obama WH in their frenzy to get the stories out.

This being a given, the next question is: why?
Then, you have to ask: who benefits the most from this?

The insincerity of all this will be exposed soon. For what reason, who knows.

6 bombs sent to Democrats. 0 go off. All crudely made pipe bombs and conspicuously obvious explosives, and all easily screened and discovered. Stunt seems designed for maximum political/media optics, not maximum damage.
SMELLS of DESPERATION!

this guy is just confirming what i've known along...posters here know just as much about bombs and false flags as a legit bomb tech.

All this to change the news cycle.
Forget about that massive caravan coming our way and RR not appearing before Congress yesterday.

Tommy Boy was a great freaking movie.

I've seen similar comments by others saying that looks like a prop for a movie and not an actual pipe bomb. I don't know anything about pipe bombs but apparently those who do seemed to instantly think "fake"

I said this in a different thread. They aren’t trying to kill people. They are trying to achieve some other outcome.

Republic benefits the most from this, because normal people would feel sick by this kind hoax and will come out to vote for Republic in the midterm.

You looking for a real bomb? Look for this.

Not if your intention was to rile up an ignorant democrat base that votes purely on emotion.

It's a leftist. Just like all the times people were caught painting and carving swastikas on themselves or on property. Plus LeBron James's little stunt. They are KNOWN for stuff like this.

do you think it's more likely that it was a hoax from the Left, or a fake hoax from the Right?
I tend to lean away from the actual Trump camp. He's doing great, and there's no actual reason to resort to any desperate ploys.
I also think that a truly unhinged ultra-Right nut would have had at least one successful bomb go off, somewhere. Somebody's campaign headquarters, somewhere not very secure, etc.
So we're faced with a fake bomb threat, which is despicable because it cheapens the threat of violence. It's like the random accusations of being racist or a Nazi, that have now reduced those vile epithets to mere mudslinging, and minimized the damage a true racist or nazi can do.
That's been the Left's tactics, so that's who I suspect now.
