I assure you that if you found that box sitting there and called 911 and they sent someone out to check it out, no one would ever question the legitimacy of your call. You seem to be forgetting where this box was located. The bad sign design by itself is not absolutely convincing of course but considering all circumstances, the location of the box, the maybe somewhat real danger of terrorism in exactly this area, the easy build and also the psychological aspects.. Yeah, this would be a legitimate call to at least the local PD.
Also I am talking about logical undeniability.. And I think you know already..
It's useful to note that there is a billboard off of 101 NB, as I recall just south of the 280 interchange, that literally tells you to call 911 if you see anything suspicious. In San Francisco, calling 911 on this is just following instructions.

Do you know what the operator says when you call 911?

In a relatively low traffic area?

Yes, the non-emergency number. Not 911 FFS

Logical undeniability? Logically terrorists would spend far more time making their sign look legitimate, since DHS doesn't really need to be worried about someone thinking their not-a-bomb is a bomb.
>official things are marked very clearly and undeniably
Yes I am sure they all have timestamped PGP signed messages signed with the official german government keys.
