I blame Hollywood, not the hotel staff. They can’t be expected to know what each and every stray circuitboard is/does. Not all circuitboards are bombs, but almost all modern bombs have circuit boards.


Anybody who gets their worldview from the movies deserves a big, hearty chunk of any resulting blame.


More and more I feel that most if not all people get a good portion if their world views from media.


I remember a thread, either Twitter or Reddit where quotes from the book Lolita was used as evidence that most/all men are scum and perverts....


All bombs contain matter, yet "matter" managed to escape the list. Perhaps there is a flaw in this logic?


I think most bombs are hand grenades or similar, and don't have circuitry as far as I know. Just mechanicals and chemistry.


Where are all the "modern bombs" you're talking about?
