If they can't determine what it is, they'll put it in a bomb trailer and detonate it either onsite or take it somewhere if they think its safe to transport.

And we still have the 'kewpie' doll suits for the bomb people where they actually handle it themselves. Talk about God, Guts and Glory!

99.999% of the time it turns out to be someones laundry, office papers, groceries or the like. I've wondered about how someone feels when they see their dirty skivvies blown 50' into the air on the news...
well yesterday I've seen it with my own eyes, that the robot was shooting at the bag... I think it was like 10 bullets before the police let everything go on its way
