Is it possible to set up an explosive device inside a cell phone? I remember seeing it on a movie once which isn't exactly a reliable source, but it did get me questioning whether or not it's actually possible.
So, would you be able to rig a cell phone to detonate, what would be the extent of the damage and how easy would it be to do?
Comments
Thats the thing. I can't think of an explosive that would fit in one that could be powerful enough to do all that much damage. This seems like it would have worked ok with those old ass cellphones that were huge but now they are so much smaller.
An interesting alternative would be to place a small EFP charge inside the target's alarm clock, with the penetrator aimed directly at the position of their head while they sleep. Reroute the alarm power to a relay, which is connected to an electrical detonator and a 9V battery. The target will go to sleep pondering the days to come, but little does he know, he'll never wake up again.
All hypothetical of course, and I don't condone using explosives for murder. But damn, I should be writing movie scripts. :cool:
Or maybe rig up an EFP and power supply inside of a mailbox and have the initiator attach to the mailbox door.
Is this plausible?
Yes, it's very plausible. You just hand these prototype mobile phones to people entering the seminar or why not go with some flashlights. Like in a concert, you distribute those flashlights [working ones] and when the time comes to light them up, they all detonate remotely or via the user. The panic created by this can easily kill hundreds.
I mean I am sure it's not that difficult to set a timer for like an hour in the flashlight and then handing them to the fans. Not many security groups checks these minor details.
Come to think of it, it's best if you use something that doesn't seem like a threat. A mobile phone is always looked a bit harshly due to it's communication link feature but who would doubt an ordinary flash light or stick for some concert. You could get 50 of those and only plant explosive in 10 of the. The rest can have some fake smoke timers that would release smoke, this along with explosives is a sure way to fuck everyone up.
You could always hijack the wireless microphone and play the Durka Durka tape.
