They going to tear open the battery while they are at it? It’s not like there’s going to be a small lump labeled “RDX” with wires sticking out of it.
While they’re at it, why not incorporate the explosive into the body of the device? Has no one else seen Up in Smoke?
You could get a new battery from a known good source (or light a couple on fire to make sure they’re not explosive). It should be relatively easy to check the rest of the components for anything near a dangerous amount of explosive, and the body can be replaced with a custom one and/or subjected to the fire test.
Even a fire test may not produce accurate results (see C4). Better to not have distinct supply lines from the civilian population you’re already hiding in.

It’s interesting who we call terrorists and who we don’t. If an Arab nation or organization had done this it would have been called a terrorist attack. Israel does it and people defend it.
Terrorist is a meaningless scare word for “people we don’t like”.
‘Terrorist’ is a shorthand for ‘Terrorist we don’t like’
Ok, but this is NCD. Would you like a flute of Trader Joe’s finest champagne? It’s not very good, but it’s free.
Or if you are a child who happens to be near one maybe you just die anyway
We read on the news ‘Hezbollah pagers’ and assume that this was a targeted attack. But are we sure? What does it even mean? Who and how got those devices?
Hezbollah handed out these pagers to their combatants a few days before they exploded. Some were even still in their packaging.

I don’t know why you think this will be an isolated event, a civilian you probably don’t have anything to worry about in the same way you don’t need to worry about getting poisoned or shot but this is now an attack method governments will take advantage of.
would RDX increase or decrease baofeng interference? only one way to find out
Wait, what frequency sets off the…
BOOM
BAOFENG transmits on all frequencies, it’s just louder on the ones they intend
Don’t forget to check the tin foil hats too!
Would be nice if all militant preppers get rid of their electronic devices like this
At least one extremist echo chamber fewer.
I had an roommate do that with an xbox360 once
That must have looked funny.
