53. This meets the FBI definition of a WMD, I believe

No joke, I think it really does. Here's their definition:


Any explosive or incendiary device, as defined in Title 18 USC, Section 921: bomb, grenade, rocket, missile, mine, or other device with a charge of more than four ounces;
Any weapon designed or intended to cause death or serious bodily injury through the release, dissemination, or impact of toxic or poisonous chemicals or their precursors;
Any weapon involving a disease organism; or
Any weapon designed to release radiation or radioactivity at a level dangerous to human life.


#1 This was an explosive device and I bet its charge was more than 4 oz.

#2 Not clear she had any intent. If she did, it was a WMD.

#3, #4 Did not involve a disease organism or radiation, I presume.

But on the basis of #1, they could call this a WMD.
