Key components are 6 grams of white pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and "highly flammable material" as a detonator. PETN was developed in 1906, and is accessible to more advanced hobby chemists.

So we have explosive device that passes through airport security scanner. And can be made at home by dedicated individuals... What are the implications for air travel?

I mean, the implication is that they either tested the pagers on an airport's security scanner (pointing to state built explosive devices making their way onto consumer flights).

Or they tested them on their airport security scanners (and the question of why this group needs an airport security scanner to test things on).

Either way, the implications for air travel are not all that great!

Excellent article. This is the professional version of "OK Boomer" and we really need this to be the standard response to behaviour that needs to be immediately stopped and not debated, along with an implied threat that it will be escalated if continued.

The about section is: "Get a GitHub user's email. "smiley sunglasses face emoji" Use this responsibly." Is the smiley face for the first sentence? (look how cool and clever I was to find this data) Or the second sentence? (lets all have a laugh that there's actually a responsible usage for this data.)

"Oftentimes. when people are miserable, they will want to make other people miserable, too. But it never helps."
