"He may not have intended to kill himself, radio waves could have set off his devise before he could get it into place"

How does that work? Or can you say.

I was thinking hmmmm, if those bombs can be detonated by radio waves, wouldn't it be prudent to make anyone with a backpack walk through a radio wave filled chamber before entering a public place? That way if they have a bomb, they can blow up alone. Is that rude?

Somebody joked yesterday... a 'phone-call'.

How does that work? Or can you say.

One possibility (not claiming this is how it worked...) Buys cheap throw away cell phone, wires to bomb. Goes in Stadium and leaves vest, backpack, etc.

Goes outside and calls it.

But before he gets in, while arming it, the cell phone gets a call, or he pushes a button accidently on it, causing the speaker to sound (the easiest circuit to tap for trigger pulse is the cellphone ringer and/or speaker).

Tinfoil hats say that there are cell phone blockers in stadiums, but if there are they sure don't block outbound calls. Although I've had my cellphone take a message instead of ring while sitting in a ballpark, I assumed it was just cuz of excess circuit use in the ballpark. You sure see enough people on cell phones in ballparks.

Ok, I'll get back on my meds now...

Great, simple and effective idea.

Just try getting it past the ACLU.

Hell, try it out on the ACLU.
