Musical Greeting Card Normal and Inert IED

This simulated mail threat is an X-ray correct letter bomb with a modified pull switch. It contains all the necessary P.I.E.S. (Power source, Initiator, Explosive, and Switch) components of an IED.

The Detasheet simulant is engineered to have the same density and effective atomic number (Zeff) as the real explosive threat. Due to the complexity and popularity of musical greeting cards, an unmodified (original) card is included with this device. To assist in classroom training, a picture of the internal components is displayed on the outer packaging with each of the P.I.E.S. components identified. This helps build image association without compromising the training aid.
