3. I believe that IEDs do leave actual traces, yes.
I hope you're never in a position to find out.

4. Bombs leave evidence...

Bomb forensics is painstaking work. As late as the 1960s, Strobel says, forensic experts believed that bombs left no evidence, that fingerprints and other identifying evidence were literally destroyed in the explosion.

Forensic experts now realize that all bombs leave evidence. The trick is recognizing the pieces, putting them back together and then analyzing them for clues.

"How parts were blown up can determine if the pieces were part of the device or not," Strobel explains.
Emphasis added.


Just sayin'

7. Evidence can be found by accident as well
Plenty of chances for it to be found during the investigation and clean up of ground zero.

8. Good point.
With the large amounts of explosives required for pulverization and with all the dust that was spread all over NY, it would have been easy to detect traces of explosives.

9. Not just chemical traces
Physical as well. Steel columns cut by charges are easy to distinguish to the trained eye, as well as remains of the charges, detonators, and initiators as well. Tons of tiny debris were recovered...all it would take is one piece.

FBI, NYPD, BATF, demolition workers. All on the scene.
