Terrorists resort to sprinkler parts. Whoops...again in Miami.

They should call in Inspector Clouseau for some real police expertise. Or, Barney Fife.

MIAMI - The Port of Miami was hit by its second terrorism scare in two days Monday when a package that was to be loaded onto a cruise ship tested positive for plastic explosives. Authorities later determined it was harmless.

The package was initially tested six times, and each time it came back positive for the military-grade explosive known as C4, the Coast Guard said.

The package was destroyed, and a Miami-Dade County police bomb squad determined it held sprinkler parts, which contained a substance that "closely resembles" plastic explosives, said police spokesman Bobby Williams.

1. I hope somebody from the bomb squad writes that down in their little notebook

Could be a helpful tip in future: "Find out if there are things that might not be plastic explosives but closely resemble them."
