We all go a little mad sometimes...
Moscow, Russia - April, 2003
A Russian bomb disposal expert has been killed when a bomb he was trying to defuse by hand exploded in central Moscow.
Russian media report that a woman took the bomb into a crowded restaurant in a bag and threatened to blow it up, before it was seized from her.
Security officers failed to dispose of the device by remote control and it detonated when an officer was trying to defuse it manually.
The woman has been detained and is being investigated for possible links with Chechen suicide bombers who killed 14 people at an outdoor rock concert over the weekend.

So it was stable enough to be carried around, and the cops didn't relocate it?

Once it was identified as bomb, it was no longer safe to move it around. They also tried to remotely blast the thing without success.

So that fact that it was identified as an explosive device, magically increased the sensitivity, and decreased the stability??

It definitely increased their precautions, but I got your point.
