Explosives typically need some other thing (e.g., a blasting cap) to make them work.

I'm not 100% sold on any conclusion here. For now, I'm simply saying that I'm content with the determination of whoever has handled the initial charges.

I'm certain that there'll be further investigation, and if merited, a dismissal.

That said, if she did intend to tweak security, that is probably enough to make what she did a crime.

I see where you're coming from -- that the security personnel abused their discretion by even detaining her for this, but the situation just doesn't seem to be as clear cut as you seem to want to make it out to be.
