THE PHONE BOMB ---------------- The phone bomb, is an excellent single target anihalatory weapon. With results being either SERIOUS injury or death. The basic principle that this works on is simple, the person answers the phone, the bomb explodes! A small but powerful, high explosive material is placed in the reciever. A squib (detonator) is then placed in the center of the material. Next take the hot leads from the earpiece speaker (phone MUST be DISCONNECTED from the wall), and connect them to the leads on the squib. Next, place a high explosive compound, such as "C-1", standard black powder may be used if it is compressed and compacted into the phone compartment. The latter being used primarily for injury. now place the reciever "on the hook", plug the phone back into the wall. Now when someone picks up the phone, current will flow from the phone to the squib, igniting the explosive and bang!!! An alternate and somewhat more "cruel" variation. The process is the same for placement and detonation, however a piece of tape is used to hold the reviever switch down. Plug the phone in. When an individual pics up the phone, he/she will then remove the tape. When the tape is removed the explosive will detonate, and the bomb will most likely be by the persons ear...
