Mistaken for a Grenade

I had the strangest encounter at the mall with my Revomaze puzzle. I took it to this little shop called, "Gamer's Paradise" where I go to purchase puzzles, board games, and skill toys (also trading cards, models, D&D kits Warhammer 40K, etc) and the usual customers there started gathering around me, wondering what I was playing with. I told them all about the Revomaze and how the puzzle worked; almost like I was promoting the thing. Each of them passed it around, unable to solve it and becoming interested in them, until I mentioned the price (I live in the US, so shipping is kind of expensive).
I left the store and started trying to solve the puzzle in the middle of one of the resting areas and I was questioned by the mall police. They thought my Revomaze was a grenade or some kind of explosive. I explained to them that it was a puzzle, I even showed them the Mr. Puzzle video. Just then, they started getting interested in it and tried solving it too. No one did, though. They even asked if they sold them at the mall.
