You're the one griping about one delay that lasted a few hours. That's a bigger waste of one's time than attempting to disarm potential bombs.

You realize, of course, that the police aren't hip to niche photographic trends, and would have no way to know a can duct taped to a bridge was just a camera.

I have to agree with this. And for all those who are commenting on how safety wins over waiting a few hours in traffic, please keep in mind that there are people who are inconvenienced far more than this. There are people who are unfairly treated like criminals all because of this terrorism hysteria. And it's not just terrorism but also crime on a whole that is so dramatized and overrepresented in the media.
