 she threaten to blow it up though? :P Pulling out the detonator -that thing could be anything. And if anyone truly had their wits about them (seemingly everyone but Cordelia, though Volt was slightly concerned) they'd stop to consider she's in a room full of supers. Why would she bring in a legitimate detonator, or at the very least one that did actual damage with people like that surrounding her? She's crazy not dumb.Agnes said absolutely nothing about blowing anything up, only brandished a detonator.

Brandish a gun near some cops sometime. Don't threaten to use it, just brandish it. See what happens.

It's the same basic concept. Holding a detonator is the same as saying "Listen up, fellas, I'm going to set off some explosives."

EDIT: Please don't think I'm trying to be rude to you or anything like that. I'm just a little surprised by how nonchalant everyone is being.
