Dumplings Of Mass Destruction?

Multiple Intelligence guys and Birdy's squad (excluding Marla) have just searched a house. They are rounding up the people inside and are searching them. They have found nothing. They search the people who live in the house and find nothing.

Marla gets the okay to come in to check it out and speak to the women. She comes in and does a loop of the house. When she is in the kitchen she stops and yells to Captain Coles to come in. Coles comes in and sees Marla sifting her hands through the flour. "Dumplings Of Mass Destruction" he asks her. "No," Marla answered, "just flour (she sifts her hands through the flour again) and detonators." she finishes.

I picked this scene because I thought it was funny how these guys who have been searching houses for weeks missed the detonators and Marla found them right away. Who knows what they could have missed.
