Bet you a big silver dollar that the next group of terrorists who try a stunt like this bring gas masks.

That's the ticket! Perhaps we could confuse them into inaction by publicizing their need for gas masks. I can see these idiots wearing bombs around their waists and gas masks on their faces. To live or not to live? Or, with a mask, to live long enough to kill themselves.

and/or detonation devices that are triggered when their heart stops beating?

The terrorists in this incident had gas masks (called "respirators" by the news reports, but I assume they were gas masks). But they would have had to wear the masks 24 hours a day for the duration, and even then it may not have helped, as I suspect this stuff may be absorbed through skin contact.
