A much greater risk than a brand new bomb. After 60 years the explosives have
parly decomposed and can be very unstable, even a slight knock could set the
thing off.


I think that trains stopped running and London City airport was
disrupted for a rusty canister full of harmless sludge !

You carry on thinking that. Tell you what, next one they find you can
volunteer to deal with it.

But, please, give everyone time to get clear before you start poking
it...
