A device

capable of producing damage to material and injury or death to people when detonated or ignited.

Is TNT an Improvised Explosive Device?

NO. TNT is an explosive compound, and can be a component of an I.E.D., but is not one in and of itself, anymore than any other explosive by itself is an I.E.D.

A bomb causes damage in five (5) different ways, depending on the point at which the explosion impacts.

1. Blast wave

When a bomb explodes, the area around the explosion becomes over pressurized, resulting in highly compressed air particles that travel faster than the speed of sound. This wave will dissipate over time and distance and will exist only for a matter of milliseconds. This initial blast wave inflicts the most damage. When this blast wave reaches a structure or person, two things will initially happen. First, the person will feel the force of the blast, which is the primary and initial impact of the shockwave. This will damage a structure or body on impact.

2. Shockwaves

After a blast wave strikes a surface or body, high-velocity shockwaves, or stress waves, will continue to pass through -- in the body, they travel through the organs and tissues. Shockwaves carry energy through the medium they pass through; they're supersonic and transport more energy than sound waves. Currently, there are no effective ways to prevent shockwaves from passing through protective clothing, and in some cases protective measures may even amplify the destructive effects.

3. Fragmentation

When the bomb explodes, the bomb casing, as well as any additional shrapnel (nails, screws or other items included in the bomb), will be violently thrown outward and away from the explosion. When these fragments strike buildings, concrete, masonry, glass and even people, they may fragment even further -- and cause even more damage. This is known as secondary fragmentation. Explosion durability test have proved that laminated glass is capable to considerably withstand a blast of 50-57 pounds (about 25 kg).

Advantages:

High capability to restrain damaged glass fragments Resistant to explosion Protects against terrorist attacks and vandalism act

4. Fire and heat

The explosion may also create a fireball and high temperatures, which will result in burns on a human body or even cause secondary fires or explosions, depending on whether any other fuel sources or flammable materials are located near the blast.

5. Blast wind

At the explosion site, a vacuum is created by the rapid outward movement of the blast. This vacuum will almost immediately refill itself with the surrounding atmosphere. This creates a very strong pull on any nearby person or structural surface after the initial push effect of the blast has been delivered. As this void is refilled, it creates a highintensity wind that causes fragmented objects, glass and debris to be drawn back in toward the source of the explosion.

Each threat received through any means of communications should be treated as real and must be forwarded immediately to the proper authorities.

MESSAGE OR LETTER BOMB THREAT PERSON-TO-PERSON BOMB THREAT

Take note of the following procedures:

1.
2.

KEEP CALM.
RECORD THE EXACT TIME OF CALL

3.
4.

KEEP IT FIRST UPON YOURSELF & SHOW NO EMOTION ON THE PHONE

PROLONG THE CONVERSATION by taking note of the following characteristics : male or female voice; young, middle-age or old sounding voice; accent of voice; speech impediments or peculiar voice characteristics; any background noise; does the voice sound familiar.

5. ASK THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

5.1 When is the bomb going to explode? 5.2 Where is the bomb right now? 5.3 What type of bomb is it? 5.4 What does the bomb look like? 5.5 What will cause it to explode? 5.6 Why did you place the bomb 6. RECORD THE TIME THE CALLER HUNGS UP THE PHONE

7. REPORT IMMEDIATELY TO YOUR IMMEDIATE SUPERIOR & SUBMIT THE BOMB THREAT CHECKLIST

1. Keep calm & keep it upon yourself.

2. Record the time it was received. 3. Documents and other materials received should be carefully handled to preserve marks, fingerprints, etc. 4. Forward immediately to your immediate superior and submit preserved document to the proper authorities for analysis and evaluation.

1. KEEP CALM 2. PROLONG THE CONVERSATION 3. APPLY OBSERVATION & DESCRIPTION 4. REPORT IMMEDIATELY TO YOUR IMMEDIATE SUPERIOR 5. KEEP THE PERSON UNDER SURVEILLANCE & TAKE NOTE OF THE MAKE, MODEL, COLOR, PLATE# & MARKINGS OF THE VEHICLE USED.

The most effective and fastest search of a building can be made by the normal occupants of that building. Bombs can be packaged in as many different ways as the makers imagination will allow. Since the object of the search can vary in size and shape, it is a fundamental rule that search must be made by persons who are familiar with the area in order to notice a strange or foreign object.

What to do upon discovery of suspicious object

Do not shake or empty the contents of any suspicious envelope or package. Place any suspicious envelope or package in a plastic bag or other type of container to prevent the contents from leaking. If you do not have a container, cover the envelope or package with anything (e.g., clothing, paper, trash can, etc.) and do not remove this cover. Leave the room and close the door or section off the area to prevent others from entering (i.e., keep others away). Wash your hands with soap and water to prevent spreading any substance to your face. Notify your immediate superior. Report the incident to the proper authority. If possible, list all people who were in the room or area when the envelope or package arrived. Give this list to responding authorities.
