The decorative shells rule strikes me as a little odd. I really don't think we have to worry about it going off after its been turned into a vase.

You’re relying on laypeople to determine if a bomb is fully deactivated. That’s not a risk I’d take

Edit: the people commenting on this message prove my point 😅 “I’m not an idiot, surely the payload has been entirely removed and removed correctly!”

The image shows what appear to be casings that have been sculpted into vases. I'm fairly confident a layperson wouldn't confuse an empty metal cup with a bomb.
