"That diagram is incomplete. It doesn't show how the wires loop throught the collar itself (see the red, yellow, and green)."

Since the explosive was located right up under the lock box, the only reason to thread the wires through the collar itself is to keep the device from being cut off with some sort of torch.

Some people were mentioning cutting off the collar with a plasma torch. I tried to explain that would work on the collar but not on the wiring; if the wires could be safely cut, the bomb could be safely disarmed.

Have to wonder if all 4 locks were locked. Did the authorities pick all of the locks? Did they find the key? Did they cut his head off?

Little detail as to how the collar was eventually removed.

It is dangerous to approach a body that is dead because of a known collar-bomb. What if there had been a second device with a delayed timer?
