"..a blasting cap is a touchy little bugger. Even radio emissions can set them off. Especially 'concentrated' radio emissions"

Good idea! counter terrorism EM pulse warefare.

Determine the optimum RF to generate some current in your cap, go buy a surplus radar unit that operates in that RF band, tune the klysteron to the optimum frequency. Station it at a checkpoint or at the border, or in a plane. Crank'er up to max range, create holy hell with any nearby tv or radio, and sweep potential targets, hoping that you are not too close, but always seeking that satisfying explosion, flash, and puff of smoke.
