There are more details in this report. Oddly, there was no photo of the collar.

Here is one from CNN's article (linked here:pizza man bomb-collar photo released

A lot of the background articles are linked there too.

A preliminary exam performed on the collar showed that it was likely not commercially manufactured, Rudge said Tuesday.

I'd imagine a company in the business of manufacturing bomb-securing metal collars for bank robbers would not get much business.

I'd like to know how they got the collar off of him after it blew. It doesn't look cut in the pic.

Found this strange statement in an ABC News article....."When police stopped Wells a short time later, he told them about the bomb and asked why authorities weren't helping to get it off him. Wells said someone he apparently did give a name had started a timer on the bomb and forced him to rob the bank."

[P.O.E.]

If Wells' friend and erstwhile co-worker was found dead of a drug-overdose, could this have been drug-related?

If the Basque terrorists have this methodology, it wouldn't be a stretch for the heavy-duty drug dealers to acquire it.

The Gamesters of Triskelion wore those collars.

this is drugs....the pizza delivery man was delivering more than just pizza and shorting the mob on the cash collected is my bet....if so this will all fizzle away quietly as usually the local leo's just let it run or are even part of it.

And to think he gets paid for such a brilliant deduction...
