That's what "inert" means in bomb-squad talk: "not a bomb." "inert weaponry" means "it looks like a weapon but isn't."

    What I could buy is that maybe he knew the device wouldn't work and that he was making it to throw into a crowd just to scare them. I still think that's extremely fucked up even if the damage is all psychological. Even if that was the case I think he should get a lot more than 90 days.

And here we are in complete agreement.
