WNU Editor: Law enforcement is telling everyone to be careful with these bombs if they come across it. I am not a bomb expert, but looking at these pictures my gut tells me that these contraptions will not explode unless someone lights up a match to ignite the sulfur that (according to the Police) was present. In short .... and someone has to ask the question .... if it was not for the sulfur present, are these"fake bombs" to look like a bomb?
