#1 Sounds like what they used on Hariri, who traveled with a jammer. Must be using Russian technology.

#2 Time to go back to the Japanese method: a hole, a 500 lb bomb, and a Japanese with a hammer.

#3 Always lead with a very big truck driven by a Sunni.

#4 Too easily countered with low tech. Just rig a road 'steam' roller with radio control and have it sweep the roads first. The rollers have vibrators on them which can create shock waves which may cause the bomb to detonate before the roller gets there.

#5 A highly effective device against bombs hits at their weak point: milli-amperage overcharges. Think of it as static electricity in wires. Most fuses are inherently sensitive to such shocks, and most any wire that can act as an antenna. Even claymore mines have to be carefully shunted to prevent premature detonation.

So "jamming" may not be the limit to what can be done against such devices.
