Even 20 years ago that is still unusual.

And even pre-9/11 I'm still not sure what the legal status of that is. Since it was designed to be a "bomb," even if it is inert, several laws do cover that.

Essentially as soon as you describe a pile of distinct legal parts as a "bomb" you've now got a class of controlled weapon even if it has no explosive components.

Source? If I describe a chicken finger as a gun, is that also a controlled weapon?
