Those are terrorism tools. It's a dynamite analog because any rational person seeing someone with them strapped to their chest would flee in fear of an imminent suicide bombing. When you look and dress like terrorists, they stop being seen as road flares, by law. It's why you can be legally shot dead for pointing a toy gun at a cop.

I didn't argue that they were harmless. I said they're road flares, not dynamite. The headline is misleading.
As you said, "dynamite analogue". In contrast to "dynamite".
