I was always pleasant, friendly and within arm's reach of a gun.

I'll note that I could make something real enough looking to really panic the cops for a while(anti-IED training before deployment), but I'm not about to.
You say that like it's a hard thing to do.

Geocaches cause that kind of response once in a while. I can see it with a container that looks like it could be a bomb, especially when hidden near a building or where there are a lot of people. But they have even called the bomb squad for a film canister hidden in a tree in an open parking lot. Why would you assume that's a bomb?
