Read an article the other day that said his laptop couldn't be searched because it had been destroyed in the explosion.

Then CNN, in one article reported:

"The video made by Mark Anthony Conditt, whose string of package bombs killed two people and wounded five in Texas, was found on his cell phone when police recovered his body Wednesday morning. The cell phone was in Conditt's possession at the time of his death, police said."

So how come the laptop was destroyed by the explosion, but the cell phone that was in Conditt's possession when he died wasn't destroyed? Something smells to high heavens here.

So how come the laptop was destroyed by the explosion, but the cell phone that was in Conditt's possession when he died wasn't destroyed? Something smells to high heavens here.

Bombs do not evaporate everything within their range (unless nuclear). phone in a pocked away from the blast could very easily escape unharmed while a laptop sitting underneath the device was completely unrecoverable. Far more plausible explanations for this than something smelling to high heavens.
