> To illustrate how overreaching the police was: When the Zwiebelfreunde's hacker space was raided they found this 3d printed model of a bomb[0], which of course is just a plastic toy. However, they accused the people in hacker space of planning a bombing, so they could seize more stuff.

Not saying they did have plans for a bombing, but if I were planning one, I would have a few toy bombs around to practice with. Definitely not going to try fitting a live bomb into a backpack to see if it fits...

And you'd have that "toy bomb" look like a downscaled version of a air-dropped bomb from ww2, seriously? If it is only roughly the size, just use a soda can or something like that?
You don't need perfect looks to see if it fits. I can think of a better model, but I don't want to post instructions on how to build toy bombs. Could be dangerous around here. :-)
