Submission + - Bomb Squad Detonates Foul CDs?

Needs Food Badly writes: Evidently, now obscenity is a reason to have the bomb squad called in. During the Ash Wednesday mass at Roman Catholic Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, three CD-players hidden under pews began to blare "pornographic messages" from their speakers. The reaction of the church officials? To take the CDs to the basement of the church and then call the police, who in turn called the bomb squad. The bomb squad destroyed two of the CD players and kept the third for DNA and fingerprint testing. It's a juvenile prank, sure. But is it really necessary to blow up a few ultimately harmless CD players? No one but the cops were apparently afraid the things were bombs.
