It’s not so much getting explosive into the device rather the detonation part of it. A normal industrial det will blow your hand apart if it goes off whilst holding it, explosives tend to be very stable and need the energy the det provides to trigger things. I watch the uxo sups at work at min prepping charges for diver deployment and they are relaxed with the explosives but ultra cautious with the dets. These pagers must have been manufactured with a serious amount of planning and know how and set up to go off with a predetermined number or timer etc. Anyhow I guess it doesn’t bode well for Middle East peace and stability if there ever was such a thing. 

I remember watching a program about explosives. IIRC you can basically hit some c4 with a hammer, drop it out of a building or even fire a bullet into it, it wont go off until its detonated correctly.

Whether it was explosives or some scary tech that can make batteries explode its impressive none the less. I bet there arent many world leaders sitting in bed watching tick tok on their phones tonight!
