Anyone here familiar with the "Ballou case" from Silver Springs, MD which
was later covered in the Washington Post when he sued the local PD?

From the testimony of the witness Scroggie (called as
an expert by the government) and from an examination of the
exhibits themselves, including photographs of various tests
conducted by the government, this Court finds that these three
grenades together with the powder seized were in combination both
designed and intended to be used as destructive devices. Although
these grenades could not have been exploded as found, they could
have been fully activated merely by adding either the black powder
or the smokeless powder likewise seized in plaintiff's apartment on
June 7, 1971.
