    But that isnā€™t the criteria theyā€™re working with in any news report or court case, is it?

    If I draw up some plans on a napkin with crayon, make my thing based on that, and ā€œQCā€ says all the parts are to spec, and it fails and looks like shit in the processā€¦ I would say that is FAR more improvised than the guy making a pipe bomb out of hardware store supplies thatā€™s set off by a complex electronic custom timer/signal receiver.

    I do get your point, Iā€™m just being slightly ridiculous for humorā€™s sake.

    Itā€™s all entirely ā€œdid someone make this in a factory with government approval or notā€

    Yā€™knowā€¦ In this hypothetical news story/court caseā€¦
