Agreed.
Anyone who has ever repaired electronics (I have) would know that an internal lithium battery pack is a fairly generic silver foil wrapped package.
It would be trivial to swap out the original battery package with a hybrid explosive/ battery pack, which upon inspection would look perfectly normal.
But it would need to pass a potential xray inspection, so internal electronics would be limited.
A simple over voltage could melt a tiny fuse and cause a short circuit. Then boom.
Ever see what wire wool held to a 9V battery can do?
wouldn't even need to be that advanced. this is a pager, not a phone. no brains, no screen.... theres a ton of spare room in there to hide a bomb.
