Device Left in Starbucks Was Not Explosive


Good thing, for a second there I thought the terrorists had found American's true weakness. Coffee. BASTARDS!

What authorities thought was a bomb in a Starbucks coffee shop turned out to be a flashlight casing, police said.

Flashlight casing? How can you confuse a flashlight case with a bomb? Do many bombs have an on/off switch?

A forensic analysis "revealed the absence of any explosive material," a police statement said.

It wasn't one of those new explosive flashlights?

Police initially said the device found in the store's bathroom Monday was powerful enough to seriously injure or kill someone if it had exploded.

Are flashlights known to just explode cause if they are we should tell somebody.

A man arrested on suspicion of planting an explosive device, Ronald Schouten, was still being held Thursday on an unrelated burglary charge. But police said his explanation on how the flashlight ended up in the coffee shop was credible.
Schouten, 44, told KPIX-TV that he found the flashlight in the street and accidentally dropped it in the bathroom.


Sounds credible enough. Dropped it in the bathroom. Why did he have a flashlight in a Starbucks bathroom?
