The media in this area states that the FBI says there were no bombs or bomb materials but the Locals say there were.
I'd certainly take the word of the local law enforcement, they know what they found....

Fireworks are legal in SC. Since many years, a couple weeks before every Fourth of July and New Year's Eve, portable sales booths (metal trailers) set up in every neighborhood selling fireworks. Every kid growing up in the Lowcountry eight years and older is familiar with what legal fireworks look like. Every cul-de-sac or dead end street has its own fireworks show every year. My 11-year-old grandson could probably identify different fireworks.
Every police officer in this area knows what legal fireworks look like. There is no way a local cop could confuse legal fireworks with a pipe bomb. They know the difference. If our cops say it wasn't fireworks, it wasn't fireworks.
Those two Egyptian guys are mechanical engineering college students. They obviously know how to make simple pipe bombs. If 12-year-old rednecks can do it, college engineering students can do it.
