Critical to conventional bombs is a power source to trigger a detonator

Boy, that is going to be hard to stop. There is enough power in the lights in the bathroom to trigger an explosive. A couple of wires and you can make a circuit. And guess what, you can use the headphones provided for entertainment as a source for the wire. So all you really need is a crystallized explosive like crystallized ether. 20 oz should be enough.

Heck with some explosives, you don't even need an electrical circuit to set it off. I strong blow can set off a lot of stuff.

They make announcments about attempts to tamper with the smoked detector in the bathroom. Not sure how much of that is triggered with such devices.
