Professionals that are supposed to know better should have been easily able to identify that these "devices" weren't a threat. Everything was out in the open - there wasn't some enclosed case that could have contained a substantial amount of explosives. They're thin and their inner workings are clearly visible. It was obvious they were cheap electronic signs.

You are totally wrong on this. Do have any idea how big a boom a 1 inch deep, 1 foot square mass of plastic explosives would make?

This could easily have been some type of terror plot.

It won't come anywhere near taking down a big bridge sitting on the side of it nor even a building.

I have an idea for how to place a bunch of bombs around Boston and be pretty certain that the bomb squad won't come and disturb them...

It wasn't a very good idea before, but it sure is now...
