Bubblehead, I think some caution is certainly worthwhile. On the other hand, I know Gabriel, met him at ICCC this year, and he doesn’t seem the sort to fly off the handle easily; he’s been through a lot this year, and this wouldn’t be the first threat he’d received. But my understanding is that mysterious packages that look suspicious (cylindrical objects, wires) in X-ray etc., but that aren’t real bombs, are a standard threat by ETA, among other groups.
The lack of explosives doesn’t seem to me to be a big issue — illicit explosives are expensive and hard to get. Why waste them on what is meant to be a fake bomb?
