Yeah.  Mines are gnerally a hell of a lot better designed.  And they
work every time, if they are armed correctly.

You will notice that the only person on the list who has ever been
attacked with an IED, or whose job ever involved looking for IEDs, or
whose current job involves teaching classes about IEDs, IED
components, IED tactics, and counter-IED tactics, is very carefully
keeping my big mouth shut on the subject, and restricting my
commentary to information that could be located on open sources if
people cared to do some research before engaging in wild speculation.
