- The phone bomb is an explosive device that has been used in the past
- to kill or injure a specific individual. The basic idea is simple: when the
- person answers the phone, the bomb explodes. If a small but powerful high
- explosive device with a squib was placed in the phone receiver, when the
- current flowed through the receiver, the squib would explode, detonating the
- high explosive in the person's hand. Nasty. All that has to be done is
- acquire a squib, and tape the receiver switch down. Unscrew the mouthpiece
- cover, and remove the speaker, and connect the squib's leads where it was.
- Place a high explosive putty, such as C-1 (see section 3.31) in the receiver,
- and screw the cover on, making sure that the squib is surrounded by the C-1.
- Hang the phone up, and leave the tape in place. When the individual to whom
- the phone belongs attempts to answer the phone, he will notice the tape, and
- remove it. This will allow current to flow through the squib. Note that
- the device will not explode by merely making a phone call; the owner of the
- phone must lift up the receiver, and remove the tape. It is highly probable
- that the phone will be by his/her ear when the device explodes...
