That's definitely an Orange Juice bottle. It doesn't even look like the alleged airsoft pellet canister.
Also, you have to be a pretty stupid terrorist if you're going to use Airsoft BB's in an attack.
What terrorist is going to have them proudly displayed for all to see?

The problem with conspiracy theorists is that they will shape anything to fit their theory whether it fits or not. The problem with skeptics is that they use the things that don't fit to discredit them and dismiss the facts that do.

"Terrorists do not pose an existential threat to American society. They cannot win this fight by any logical metric. At best, they can achieve a psychological goal, of getting into our heads, making us fearful. But over time we learn to control our fears and adjust our expectations, recognizing that we are not invulnerable. First we have to get up off the pavement, like that 78-year-old Boston runner, Bill Iffrig, the one who crumpled when hit by the shock wave of the explosion just a few yards from the finish line. He's the man in the now-iconic photograph of the three police officers springing into action with an older man – Iffrig – on the pavement, facing away from the camera. Iffrig was on TV Monday night, describing what happened, his tone remarkably matter-of-fact:
"Everybody else is out there having fun and you got one or two people trying to destroy the whole thing, it's hard to figure out. Terrorists, whatever they are…. I don't have much use for it." This is why terrorists won't win: Too many American like Bill Iffrig, who, when they get knocked down, get right back up again.
And yes, he finished the race"

^This^ This is why we have been at the top of the heap. I'm afraid that we are losing the spirit embodied in Mr. Iffrig. I hope I'm wrong. It's just a shame that it takes these sort of mind blowing acts of terror for everyone to wake up and realize what we have and how easy it would be to lose.
