If they could figure out from whom they're buying all
them pre-paid cellphones (in order to generate the number
lists), it could work. Just keep it running 24/7 with a
"Sorry, wrong number" message in case an innocent (or
unfinished bomb) answers.

I figure eventually they'll run out of suicide-bomb
volunteers. Might as well help if it can be done without
blowing anyone else up.

Do you all think that tangos are dumb enough to trigger the bomb
with the ringer or would the detonator answer first and listen for a
DTMF sequence. Hmmm? Achmed the bomb maker gets a wrong number just
as he's connecting the thing.
