    supply chain attacks are dirty tactics too, they have no idea who is holding 3000 pagers when detonation.

      For smartphones they actually could, they could tie the lipo pack serial number to the imei and work everything out from there.

      Then make sure it’s been unlocked via biometrics within a second or so.

      It’s very rare that someone else holds a phone to be unlocked for you, though it does happen, still the closest to a targeted kill.

        I use a code to unlock. Biometrics can be unlocked while unconscious or restrained. Fuck that.

          Yes, but as I said, since English isn’t something you’re comfortable reading, you can do it only on biometric lock since that is the most likely assurance you have the right target.

          And yes, but if you’re unconscious or restrained, I don’t think collateral damage is your major concern.

        You would have to guarantee those phones would eventually end up in the right person’s hands.

        Otherwise if you sabotage 100 phones and only 30 go to your targets, even if you only detonate those 30 there are now 70 phones out there randomly floating around with enough explosives to kill some random person.
