#1 A federal official previously told the Times that they may not have been able to set off the device because the remote was out of range.

There's that possibility. Also possible is the building's construction.

Funny, one would have thought a mobile phone would've been used instead.

#2 I wonder what the reaction would be if the word got out that the reason the bombs didn't go off was because the FBI sold them fake explosive?

An interesting question. Low rent, off-brand jihad?

It is interesting.

Also odd that a (traceable) vehicle was rented for the op.
