True or false, an improvised explosive device is easily identified.

An improvised explosive device (IED) is often designed to blend in with the environment, making it difficult to identify. These devices can be constructed from commonly available materials and can be disguised to look like ordinary objects, such as household items or trash. As a result, the general public and even trained personnel may not recognize them without proper training and experience. The complexity and variability in design, along with the use of camouflage, further contribute to the challenge of detection. This underscores the need for specialized training and expertise in security and bomb disposal to identify such threats effectively.
