But I've read (and am not proclaiming to be an expert) that once they've been 'fired' there's no turning them off. They just explode. You can pre-empt or trigger the explosion, but you can't make them safe - so there's no picking them up for a photo op.

Without knowing the source or context of the image/text it's hard to say.
