Name...That...Tune!

I'll throw out some statements.  You supply the next statement in the series and what the statements mean when taken as a whole:
  • We found a suspicious package but it's not a bomb because it doesn't have explosives.
  • We found a package that contains explosives.
  • We found a package that contains explosives and an unsophisticated detonation device made of wires and a circuit board.
  • We found an explosive package with a mobile phone sim card.
  • We found a sophisticated explosive package but there's no way it could have gone off because mobile phone service does not work in the skies (except when it does work).
  • We found a volatile bomb that we safeguarded from exposure to the public.
  • We found a bomb that was about to go off in 17 minutes.
  • We defused a bomb that was just seconds away from destroying the airport and possibly half the country.  Thank goodness, Bond James-Bond - currently looking for a job and subcontracting for us - was available to cut the wire at the LAST SECOND!
  • Okay, you supply the rest of the next statement: "We found and secured the country from total annihilation due to an abominable, diabolical threat we..."
When taken as whole, what do the statements above mean?:

[HINT: Using your imagination and constant bombardment on your senses by spy novels and conspiracy films, is it possible to see the statements above as a ruse by government and private security firms (e.g., d/b/a Xe, Blackwater, Halliburton, et al) to secure more contracts due to perceived threats from nonexistent foes?  Or are all empires subject to guerilla attack by tiny opposition groups and this is just par for the course - occasional gnats and mosquitoes giving an annoying sting to the powers that be, so there's no need to raise the castle walls any higher over a few brainwashed peasants seeking attention?  Citizens die every day in automobile smashups so what's a few more lost in random bombings?  You make the call.]
