The objective of such  search is to quickly seek out items or objects, which are foreign to the environment.  When the emergency services arrive and/or there is more time, a more thorough search can then be accomplished.

Remember, a bomb need not look like a bomb.  If an unusual or foreign object is in fact encountered, under no circumstances should it be touched, tampered with or moved.  In this event, immediately evacuate the area and notify the authorities of the finding, and then follow their instructions exactly as they will now take authority given the danger to the public that may exist.
