[kictanet] A simple security question

Apologies for cross-posting.


This is a non-ICT related issue, but touches on people's security.
Someone help me out.
This is just a hypothesis:

Let's say I'm carrying an IED in my back bag and attempt to enter a
supermarket, the guard, with a metal detector, rolls the detector on
me, asks me what I have in the back, and I say, Laptop. He lets me in.

Do the security guards have training on handling bombs, or once a
blast takes place, they run without looking back
