    NEW: NY GOV ANDREW CUOMO CONFIRMS 6th device was sent to his office in NY. Feds wouldn't disclose during the press conferences exactly what was in the package, but said 'it was consistent with the other packages.' Pipe bombs, white powder with it.https://boingboing.net/2018/10/24/police-device-sent-to-cnn-a.html …

        Unfortunately, you have to hope that the perp's DNA is in a databank somewhere, and that you can a) find that databank and b) access it. :-(

        They destroy them preemptively for safety, so its tough to speak in absolutes when you can only really study the device after its total destruction.

        Do they x-ray them first?

        After many blown-out-of-proportion breaking news stories, for example ricin that turns out to be an envelope full of castor beans, I am skeptical that a pipe with white powder in it might be an actual live device. They keep saying "appears to be"

        Its an ongoing (and still developing) investigation, and there are many ways to construct an improvised explosive device. And yes, many ways to construct a fake ones too. The mark of good police work is to not confirm anything until all the facts are understood.

        True - unfortunately, news sources saying they "appear" to be real cause people to jump to conclusions.
