Goose Creek is home to the Naval Weapons Station and the U.S. Naval Consolidated Brig, a military prison where enemy combatants have been held.ME: PERHAPS THEY WERE GONNA TRY TO SPRING SOME ENEMY COMBATANTS?
BTW: I don't really think this was the result of a random car stop, or a traffic violation stop. That's just the cover; I bet they were either tipped of by a double agent, or got the information by EAVESDROPPING!

According to Lt. Vince Lombardo, deputies discovered the suspicious items in the trunk during a traffic stop. The two men inside the vehicle are detained at the scene. Lombardo also said information from an investigation in another jurisdiction raised the suspicions of the deputies.

They detonated whatever it was they found in the car this morning.
wow.
link please
Here is the link, although the story has been updated since:
Officials Find Explosives in Car
It still states that they detonated explosives that were found. Would that indicate that they were homemade? You don't detonate dynamite, unless it's already wired to blow.
More details as well in the story.
