#1 In the TV show, was the importer actually in on the plot? I find it kind of hard to believe that a guy would do this using a real bomb (er, unless he's a splodeydope, of course). If you're going to assert that someone else put that bomb on you, might as well use a fake bomb, and later claim you thought it was real.

On the other hand, why didn't he say who'd put it there? I figured he had, and the cops were sitting on it.

#2 In the TV show, was the importer actually in on the plot?
No, he wasn't. It was the collar connection that I thought was similar. Police reports say that the bomb was simple, the collar was not.
Authorities on Tuesday released a photograph of the bomb's locking device, which consisted of four key locks and a combination lock, and appeared to be homemade. "The locking mechanism was unique and it was sophisticated," FBI agent Bob Rudge said on Tuesday.
Then there is this:
McCabe said today on Good Morning America that Wells was also carrying a concealed weapon at the time of the robbery. He said it was "a kind of gun," and said that like the locking collar it was also "unique."
Strange use of words - "a kind of a gun". Homemade? Wells said somebody put the collar on him, after that police backed off. Don't know if they got anything else out of him. Time will tell.
