Interesting. However I think it was just a homemade little M80 etc. The thing is tiny.

A U.S. man has been charged with possessing an explosive device after allegedly carrying a homemade pipe bomb in his truck on a ferry to Victoria.
The 39-year-old, who lives near Seattle, was stopped when he arrived in the capital on Tuesday night after taking the Coho ferry from Port Angeles, Wash.

Canada Border Services Agency officers said they became suspicious while questioning the man, who was travelling with his daughter.
They said they examined his truck and found a suspicious device in the glove box – a 7½-centimetre brass pipe that was capped on each end and had a 15-centimetre green fuse-like string glued to one end.
They arrested him, secured the ferry terminal and called in the Victoria police.
A photo of the device was sent to the RCMP bomb squad in Vancouver, who advised their colleagues to put it in a secure container designed to hold explosives.
The RCMP Explosives Team was to travel to Victoria on Wednesday to examine the device and dispose of it.
The man, who lives in the Seattle suburb of Issaquah, was to appear in court in Victoria on Wednesday afternoon facing a charge of possession of an explosive device.
