I agree with the use of the plasma cutter, but first it will indeed leave a serious burn to the neck, but that beats full head removal. Second, the plasma device could prematurely detonate the bomb depending on the type of cutting equipment its frequency range could include the remote control frequency. Finally, I would recommend a small cylinder of argon or nitrogen rather than an air compressor. No need for electricity and no possibility to have a gasoline air compressor fail. The choice of gas would be based on speed and efficiency.

Great idea though. However if speed is of the essence I would go with an ultra thermic cutting system and damn the scars because that beats losing one's head.

Yes, agreed. If it happens to me, I'll pull in to a muffler shop -- they always have a blow torch up and running.

I agree about using inert gas, I forgot. Most of my experience was with a cheap air comp. model.
