If you take PVC pipe and make M-80s out of it, IIRC, technically, you have created a pipe bomb. A can of powder is technically an explosive.
I would be cautious of jumping to the conclusion that these two guys were terrorists or bent on mayhem. Stupid, maybe. Sounds to me like they were driving around lighting homemade fireworks, but all of the facts are not in yet.
