A straightforward detonator has sufficient high explosive in it to spoil your day. You have the container, power source, detonator and the pager itself is the switch. It's all very Q Branch.

Do you even need a hardware flaw?
If you could inject software that sent the processor into overload could you make the battery explode? [see the “don’t keep your electric bike inside” thread]If so are we all carrying around potential bombs? An iPhone battery is at least as big as a pager battery.

I wonder if it’s possible that a hardware flaw was exploited via software to make lithium batteries explode. Not sure what the relative energies involved are but causing hardware to self destruct via a software attack is proven tech (stuxnet).
