#1 If by any chance he has a bladder, prostate, or constant urination problem at night, he could very well make a wrong move and go kaboom! Ahhh .. let us pray and hope!

#2 And here I thought the gear on my rescue squad belt was uncomfortable to sleep in!

Lemme know when he sleeps with the fishes. I'll get my ululator out of the freezer.... :-D

#3 WTF is a "ululator"?? It seems to have caught on with everyone but I seem to have missed it.

#4 An ululator is a device we Westerners need to ululate properly, though one can also use it as a car alarm.

#5 Ululate - to howl or wail, especially in grief.

An Ululator - a device to ululate.

One of many 'in' RB jokes.

#10 If we all agreed to a set time and focused our thoughts on igniting the bomb belt....

#11 Omar didn't say the suicide belt was armed. Its probably just a fashion statement.

#13 "He seems to have lost the hospitality that he enjoyed in the past in Iraq,â

Even the stupid understand that if your offer sanctuary to our enemies, you will discover the effects of an air strike. Now that they know we will go after him in any country, his sanctuary there will wane.

#15 Ansari confirmed that he has both his legs and âwalks with confidence and balanceâ. He appeared to have recovered from chest and shoulder injuries he suffered in a separate US airstrike last year.

The money-quote, kids. Hint: One of Saddam and Osama's habits.

Think about it...

#22 "com" has the right of it.
What's the igniter resonate frequency?
(dynamite cap whatever)
They have to have standard models.
Pump the suspected area with radio waves around the likely resonate frequencies when he sleeps. (day night whatever - I assume day as he's a vampire)
Enough power and he should go kaboom.

#23 You make him sound like a garage door opener. It's probably just a simple switch and battery.

#24 RD, look at Frank's comment. The Times should've followed up by asking Ansari if he saw any tatooos.

FWIW, Zarq's behavior doesn't exactly match his past actions either.

#26 âwalks with confidence and balanceâ

sounds more like a signal/message to stage an op or relate rediness to me.

#27 Well if you focus enough electromagnetic energy in a small enough area at the right frequency, it will induce an electric current in a conductor. You ever put foil in a microwave? Suicide belts use electrical blasting caps. ¿Entiende?

#28 "...if you focus enough electromagnetic energy in a small enough area at the right frequency..."
If you know where to focus, I'd suggest that you use bullets.

#29 The topic at hand was whether or not you could blow up an electrically primed suicide belt remotely. The answer is yes. I've actually seen with my own two eyes a certain dumbass walking around a microwave tower with an unshunted, electrically fired blast simulator get a big, big surprise. Whether it is practical or not, I'll leave to the experts.

Though one positive would be that if no one in the house targeted had a suicide belt, nobody gets hurt. This eliminates the possiblity of getting set up to take out a house full of innocents as has happened to us in the past.

#32 yeah it's always better too blow yourself up rather than take the chance of having panties put on your head
