Exploding Lightbulbs
----------

Back in the early years of BBSing there were two books that were on most every 
elite bulletin board systems.  These were The Terrorist's Handbook and The 
Anarchist Cookbook.  They gave step by step description of ways to get into 
trouble and hurt people.  This is an excerpt in paraphrase of those documents. 
 This idea is that of the exploding lightbulbs.  One would put Semtex or C-4 
into a lightbulb and when someone entered the vicinity they would (without 
thinking) turn the light on.  This would cause an explosion from the 
electricity going into the Plastique and causing a massive explosion 
destroying everything in the area and destroying all evidence completely.  The 
person or people who were entering the room would likewise die from the 
explosion.

So if you're an explorer, whether the police or urban explorers, you should 
look out for booby-traps that might blow you to pieces upon entering the area. 
 Regarding the area of Sp00k weaponry this would be a legitimate concern or 
implementation.  It could be a danger or a very effective weapon.  This would 
be used to secure the building of a spy nest, kit cache, or place that the 
exposure of documents would be a major threat to the operation of the 
intelligence cell.

There are plenty of places on the Internet where the development of Semtex is 
explained in detail so that just about anyone with enough money can develop 
this sort of thing.  The lightbulb can be unscrewed from certain brands of 
lights, and it is a simple measure of opening the light bulb, filling it with 
explosives, re-attaching the lightbulb, and your exploding lightbulb will be 
in place.

I won't be describing the particulars of this weaponry, and am only going over 
it in brief, as I don't want an actual terrorist using this article to aid in 
their development of weapons.  I'm just noting that it can be done and that it 
is out there on the Internet.  Don't do stupid things.  If you make this kit 
you deserve to get The Man after you.  You have been educated while not being 
given a recipe.  Don't be a tool: this is for educational purposes only.

Cheers!
