Is there proof they had actual IEDs? Zip ties are bad, but they're not in the same universe as IEDs. If they had IEDs I'd be
way more open to the idea of characterizing this as terrorism, and all that comes with it.
Edit: It sounds like the cops say they found IEDs. I'll be following that closely to update my view on the proper response to this.
Edit2: Actually the report is that the IEDs were not found at the Capitol or as part of that but near the RNC and DNC offices elsewhere, and a pipe bomb was found in a car. So there is no evidence that the people who entered the capitol were carrying bombs. The specifics in this case matter.
