Did a ex army man, who wrote a book, a MR boot licker , sadly an old Anandian try to pin this on as a terrorist attack? We need to find out this army guys background and investigate how he was able to carry it in person in a bus? Is he a terrorist?

Army's stock pile of ammunition ... is seems be given to first come first serve basis.... it has no accountability and control of who has what. This is how these detonators falls into wrong hands..... it was more than a fluke of luck that no one was killed.
