I've often wondered what "bomb-making materials" are.

 - a pound of nails?
 - a bag of sugar?
 - an alarm clock?

Unless they get a bit more specific about what they "smuggled" through, 
I'm not getting excited.

 ** historical note **

At the time of the Great British Sugar Shortage in 1976, I brought ten 
kilos of sugar from Germany in my baggage. Sugar, as you probably know, is 
a useful ingredient in alcohol fermentation, as well as one of the 
ingredients in a sugar-weedkiller explosive.
