Cellphone in bomb: What does the assembly say about the maker?

Oct 30, 2010 39 Replies

I have no sympathy at all for those who built a bomb into a printer but do the photos show how ignorant they were about correctly assembling equipment.



CNN showed a close up photo of the cellphone's circuit board used in the bomb. It looked bady mounted. What sort of person would bodge the assembly like that?

Politicians should only get paid if the budget is balanced, and there is enough left over to pay them.

Obama's people of course. This is a clear case of "Wag the Dog". The Dems are down in the polls and election day is fast approaching. They needed to do something to try and make themselves look good.

They could s*it solid gold bars and they would still look bad.

That looks like a reasonable possibility to me.

I usually dont believe in conspiration and paranoid stuff but the fact is George Bush II The Dumb benefited a lot from the September 11 event politically speaking.

In addition this event had been an opportunity to reduce individual liberty and increase citizen surveillance (and not only in USA).

Terrorists are usually not very clever people but I dont think they could make such a poorly designed bomb.

This bomb seems to be made to really look like an amateur work to as much people as possible.

This newspaper quotes someone saying it was constructed in a "profesional manner"!

The device contained a highly explosive combination of PETN and lead azide and "was prepared in a professional manner and equipped with an electrical circuit linked to a mobile telephone (SIM) card concealed in the printer."

Are you guys trying to help them to do better? Hell, to make a point and show the world how smart you are, do it for them.

That bomb looks like an idiot made it. I suspect Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnel, or Sharon Angle. I'm not ruling out Sean Hanity or Bill O'Reilly.

Really? Maybe bad advise on how Too! was given? Like what is found in here, many times! :)

they'd need more than just a SIM card. they would need the whole cellphone PCB and the case to hold a battery pack.

and the "bomb" wasn't a "printer",but just the toner cartridge.

So, they took your advice? I wouldn't brag, like you.

Actually it was a HP printer, with the toner cartridge with PETN in it, and the wring and cellphone PCB added so the wiring looked like normal wiring in a scan. That is what the media now say. Good thing modern detectors can detect the ingredients for those explosives. You cannot possibly take all printers that are shipped by air apart. Radios, other stuff too.
