Man- that is an idiot report if I ever seen one. Shaved charges? How about shaped charges?

Two men arrested for theft of explosives
October 13, 2001 Posted: 1:15 AM EDT (0515 GMT)

HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) -- Two men were arrested Friday for the theft of about 700 pounds of explosives, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said.

...

However, Perot said the 700-pound weight of the explosives stolen may be misleading.

"The actual explosive charges in these devices is quite small," she said. "The weight mainly comes from the metal cylinders encasing the explosive."
