Look, folks, we may be looking at this the wrong way. Generally, everyone is assuming they want the phones for the electronics, to use them as a detonator.

I guess the question is one of if there is an explosive or toxic chemical (think WMDs) that can be made with the batteries?

Most accounts have them taking the phones apart, and you would think they would keep them intact.

You may have a point, but I would assume that they need to take them apart to figure out how to wire into the ringer speaker...
