The last part of your statement is rubbish. Add batteries to a camera and
it's workable, and furthermore by modifying the flash device built into
most cameras it becomes an effective detonator. Just the item airport
security are trying to take out of the hands of potential terrorists. Try
using a wallet as a detonator.
