They shot my laptop

See what happens when you accidently leave your laptop at the Post Office in a conspicious looking bag? The bomb squad is called in, an inspector Gadget robot is deployed, and your bag is shot to test for explosives.
As strong as the IBM T-Series Thinkpads are, they’re no match. When are we going to see consumer laptops capable of deflecting high velocity projectiles?
How do you “forget” a laptop at a Post Office? :-p
rediculous! Why would police SHOOT a freakin BOMB? That’s just going to make things worse (big explosions, etc). Instead, how about opening the bag, or calling in a bomb squad like the rest of the U.S. does when they receive a bomb threat. Come on…this has gotta be staged.
^ I agree. A bomb wouldn’t be shot at.
They don’t shoot it with it explosives. The bomb squads uses a high power water jet to disintegrate all of the bomb at the same time. In my book this seams a lot more intelligent then cutting the red, or maybe it’s the green, wire…
if an explosive is not able to be remotely disarmed, it is denoated on purpose. the story comes from the middle east. i’m assuming the priority for explosives is to detonate away from civilians over attempting to disarm.
Ah, I was thinking of shooting, as in with a bullet. But the story still sounds kinda fake.
they do shoot bombs sometimes. they have the roboot come in and take the (BOMB) to a safe place and they shoot it. Im not saying the story is true but its possible
you also have to take into consideration that the item was left unattended at a post office.
So are many other things… I don’t think it’d be instantly thought of as a bomb and be shot at..
Here is a picture of one of the robots they use for such a thing.
