1 -- color) Traffic backs up for 40 minutes on Tuesday while a Sheriff's Department squad detonates a pipe bomb found beside the Antelope Valley Freeway.
It detonates a high explosive charge within 3 to 11 seconds of the device being keyed, depending on the distance of the charge from the MK 152.
Moreover, until fire and medical emergency personnel arrive, bomb squad members will not approach a suspect package because they may need these services themselves if the device detonates.
