Talking Farad Capacitors leading to trouble (bomb threat)

I was at Kakde Magnum mall in Pune where there is checking of each and every car that goes in the parking lot. they check the boot too.

As soon as the security guy opened the boot of the ford icon in front of me, he started shouting and raised and alarm and all the security personnel gathered at the spot.

The poor guy had 2 capacitors installed which had digital blue color voltage indicator on that. the security personnel mistook it for a bomb with a timer on it.

we both explained that it was a part of music system but yet they were not ready to agree and also started suspecting me. even 2 policemen reached the spot.

we switched the car off and then the capacitors switched down. we showed a good demo to all people how they act. one capacitor was of the brand sansui...other i dont know

god forbid if this confusion gets worse you will surely land in the jail.
