"HATTIESBURG, MISS. — Wal-Mart and Sam's Club on U.S. 98 are readying to open for business after the Biloxi Police Department bomb squad determined a suspicious object found in the parking lot this afternoon was not a bomb.

Officials said the object was a homemade bass speaker.

The Hattiesburg Police Department was called to the scene around 1 p.m. after a Wal-Mart employee discovered a metal cylinder in the parking lot.

Employees began re-entering the businesses after 5 p.m. and the stores were preparing to allow customers to enter."

You can get some serious "slam" with a bass unit like that. Explosive transients. That quality of DIY woofer will really just blow you away!


Seriously, that is hilarious ... and reassuring (that people take appropriate steps, in case there is a bomb) ... and sad (that people are so paranoid about terrorism, bombs, etc... these days) ... all at the same time.
 
Its almost guarenteed some diyer out there is shitting his pants because he was the one who built it
 
Just goes to show how careful you gotta watch how you say things today..

We once had a similar event here in Ocean City when police found a 16" long section of PVC pipe with end caps on both ends in the middle of the main highway. It looked just like a pipe bomb with the notable exception that it had a "tee" in the middle of it. They shut down the entire highway in the middle of peak tourist traffic and were shooting bean bags at it. Any public works employee could have told them it was a foot off of one of the city's own portable PVC fences, which must have fallen off a truck while they were being moved!
 
If your city has a bomb squad, they will find a use for it, even blowing up somebody's box of dirty laundry!!
 
I read the article..... the picture is of a standard plastic 5 gallon bucket, but the article says steel. You'd think the writer could get the obvious facts correct.
 
Not intending to hijack a thread, but do you think the bomb squad guys are trained to not drink anything before they don that suit? What if ya gotta go?
