In fact, once this report was published the BAOs around the country tried to figure out what these non-experts in IEDs did.

Just to bring simulant explosives onto an airport - simulant as in how it appears on the x-Ray, nothing that goes "pop" - takes weeks and weeks of paper work. TSA BAOs can not even bring in real explosives into the airport. If what the GAO testers used was not simulant, and it wasn't, whY exactly did they use? Putting something together and calling it an IED just because you want it to represent one, does not make it appear so on the x-Ray.
