Comment on Samsung Embeds Israeli Surveillance App on Phones Across MENA
teft@piefed.social 3 weeks agoI’m not an electrical engineer but I did work with explosives a little in the army. You’d only need a small amount of high explosive to do some serious damage to someone if their phone was their pocket and that explosive went off. Modern phones have plenty of empty spaces to stuff full of enough explosives to do lots of damage. It’d be a lot easier to detect then just making the Li-ion batteries ignite but who can say what the IDF can smuggle into the supply chain.

They would likely be detected by modern airport security if they put in actual explosives.

The israeli pager/walkie-talkie attack’s tampered equipments (filled with explosives) completely bypassed airport security…

Actually that is true. So you are right they probably could easily rig phones.

Yes, i mentioned in my comment how they’d be easier to detect.
