From the Express-News:
One girl, however, wasn't very worried. That's because the professionals seemed to be keeping their cool.Jerry Rowry was careful Saturday morning to troll for any unpleasant surprises that could lurk along the banks of the San Antonio River for the 13th annual Basura Bash.
...
But he wasn't expecting to find a metal box with protruding wires that turned out to be a commercial blasting cap used to detonate explosives. Though not quite a bomb, the contraption nonetheless posed a danger.
Though Jedis would be more than adequate to deal with a blasting cap, no?"She thinks it's a hoax," said Susie Gutierrez, a volunteer.
The relaxed demeanor of emergency responders comforted the girl, who refused to give her name or age for fear her mother would get mad at her for lingering near the blasting cap.
"They're not swarming the place in Jedi outfits," she scoffed. "Storm troopers, I mean."
But, don't worry about the find, turistas. That part of the river is pretty far downstream from the River Walk.
