What an analogy!  Bombs are usually the tools of terrorists, not 
thieves, thugs, and gang members.  You (usually) don't see tape on the news of 
some creep walking into a 7-11 with a sack o' explosives saying, "Hand over 
your cash, or I detonate this!!!"

You also don't hear about many drive-by knifings.
