Thanks. This is more along the lines of what I'm interested in.

A custom made board for this increases the difficulty and size of this operation by a lot.

Sometimes the police from the USA go to Europe to learn how to handle these situations without murder. And European police sometimes go to the USA to learn how to handle gun situations.

This would not have happened anywhere outside of the USA, not even in dangerous countries. Just my 2c

I know protecting the public is not technically their job

It literally is the main job.

Not sure that falls under "intercepted"

How would this message trigger the explosive?

Taking control of a shipping container, opening all of pagers and adding some explosives is obvious and not too hard for people with that power.

Replacing all the chips, or hacking their firmware, is different, and is what I'm asking about.

Most bombs that use a phone as the trigger use the speaker for example. But in these pagers that would have already set off loads.

Well yes but then you'd have to send all those messages, not too hard for a big organisation, but to make a specific message trigger it you would have to do something to the chips on it. And that's what I'm wondering.

I wonder about the technical part of this.

Was it timer based?

Was it based upon which number sent a message?

A lot of the ideas I have would require a huge technical operation, instead of the "just added explosives" angle.

Freedom of speech for me but not for thee

His commander should kick his ass, report him for endangerment, and then throw him out of the police station like in the movies when somebody gets thrown out of a saloon.

But are they calling them communists as in "state communism" or as in "a commune where everything is shared equally"?

That is the question!

Forks are used by developers to not only "fork an application", but also just to fork the repo, work on their own branches, and push (PR) them back to the main repo. I have forks of many repos, but that doesn't mean "i have forked the application under a new name".

You are spot on. The CDN simply has authentication functionality. (Or the app generates a temporary CDN URL that you'll use)
