1) The reporter probably doesn't care about the technical detail, and is more interested in how everybody felt about it.
2) If the reporter did care, the bomb tech could explain it to the PAO. The PAO could explain it to the reporter. The reporter would hear... words.
3) Sometimes I think the cops hold these things close to the vest, lest they inspire ideas or compromise an investigation.
We used the bomb squad from a large, neighboring metro agency. There was a mutual aid agreement in place. They were having trouble recruiting, I think due to some toxic leadership issues and there was talk of turning it into a multi-agency thing, kind of like what many areas do for SWAT. I have an electronics background and one of the EDU guys was trying to recruit me, to which I responded "I am not going to work on explosives built by amateurs."
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
