Next time I get one, I won't be quite as annoyed.

Wait.

If you're going to detonate a bomb via a cell phone signal, why are you still suicide bombing?

The federal government and airport security want us to be afraid of these people?

I'm trying to imagine the last conversation she had with her friends ...

"K - I'm gonna go blow something up tomorrow; NOBODY call me!"

My guess is that her terrorist group makes the triggering device for all the bombs a cell phone, regardless of whether they are being used remotely or not. Probably they receive the devices from somewhere else and don't know how to make a trigger on their own.

I wouldn't underestimate their technical abilities. It's probably more the case that you trigger them remotely to make sure that they carry it out and don't get cold feet at the last minute.

These people are idiots. The World Trade Center was a victim of the law of averages. They didn't even get lucky. A million apes with a million typewriters really will bang out the complete works of Shakespeare given enough time. It's time to stop being afraid of terrorist attacks.

I'm guessing it's a disjointed network of terrorist cells, some of which receive explosives and detonation devices from others. Not all will know how to re-wire the triggering device, and it is pointless when the cell-phone mechanism already works.

If they get cold feet they could just take out the battery.
