Were they given loaded pagers? I don't get it.

There are two theories.
One is that some military grade plastic explosives were loaded into shipments of pagers, given that Hezbollah were quite open about saying they were gunna use them to foil attempts at Mossad tracking their phones. But, one would expect that peeps would have a good look before using, IDK. do people even check their devices before using them?
The other theory is Edward Snowden's: that Israelis had a way of overwhelming the devices (sending lots of messages at once, or something, so that the batteries overheated.
What we really need to ponder is that if they can do that to them , what can they do to us?
If it is explosives, then I would not worry so much, because it was a planned and targeted attempt, not a mass, as in, millions, undefined target - everybody is an enemy type deal.
If on the other hand it is as Edward Snowdon suggested, then we have a problem - not only with phones but anything running on batteries.
Ya mean, like ... cars?
Agreed
