All you need to do is splice a couple wires and put your phone/stopwatch next to some explosives. It looks like any other "guy poking a circuit", and 99% of people with actual intent to bomb would do that part at home. It's a nonsense threat model, and it doesn't prove that people are too lax since false alerts have their own cost too.

What is the point behind his point though? I'd assume people don't build bombs in public, they'd do it somewhere private. Is people building bombs in restaurants a big problem? E: Missed the new page but yeah, I'd love to know why he thought this was worth doing.

Why would anyone build a bomb in public when private spaces and opaque bags exist?

The point is that this idiot is the only person to ever do it this way and even he wasn't planning to kill anybody, so there's no reason to calibrate the proper emergency response to him.

It sounds like he was openly building a bomb and nobody thought it looked suspicious enough to call the cops. If anything, it's a lesson about what a person can get away with in the moment if they just act like what they're doing is normal. If I were eating at the restaurant, I would have assumed that either they were doing work for the restaurant on some device or appliance, and if I worked at the restaurant, why bother a customer who is keeping to themselves. People do all kinds of poo poo in restaurants, and someone quietly working on an electronics project is gonna be pretty far down the list of crazy things that go on. It's the same psychological reaction that causes places like Best Buy or Sam's Club to have LP at the exits checking receipts, because it was too easy for someone to just walk in, grab something expensive, and just stroll out without anyone saying anything to them. Hell, when I was in college, I did service on campus AV equipment and it wasn't unusual for me or a coworker to go into a random room and unhook expensive equipment and haul it away and in all the years I worked there, not only did I not get challenged, none of my coworkers did either.

There's a ton of awesome "Bavarian Fire Drill" stories. I know TV Tropes sucks, but the Real Life tab on their page for it is a good repository of them. One easy place in my experience is backstage at Disney and Universal theme parks (and presumably just about any other). While you're technically supposed to have an ID badge, in practice they're only ever used when they need to be scanned for something and just about everyone shoves them in their pockets or on a lanyard. With how many people are rushing around to get to their shifts, anyone of any age running in and out of the backstage areas with a backpack like they're late for something is just considered normal regardless of whether they have their badge visible. The only place it won't work is an area where everyone knows everyone else, like inside one of the ride buildings.

This is also pretty much the idea behind physical penetration testing. The system may be secure from hacking but that won't help if your staff are idiots and just let someone walk in to access the server box.

Where I work, on a couple of occasions, we've had someone steal all of our 5 Hour Energy right off the shelf, by coming in, grabbing a basket, dumping the whole shelf, going into the bathroom, and then putting the stuff into his own bag, whether it's a store bag or a personal canvas bag, and walking out right past us. They'll come back from by the pharmacy, and since they can check out back there, we don't think anything of it. Even if they come from the direction of the bathroom, it's not unusual, because maybe they had to hit the can before they go, or took a minute to check out something else before leaving.

Yay, we made the weird news! This was a wild thing to wake up to, some ice floe taking up a whole bunch of badly-moored barges and watercraft and just dragging them down the Hudson. Apparently this added quite a twist to the already cramped morning commute (I now walk to work, thankfully).
