Likewise, these normally have to be pre-loaded in a detonator with a small amount of primary explosive, such as TNT, hence tubing, wires, etc, also detectable on security screening.
Yes detectable but only if screened by a fully trained wide awake on the ball operator, and not hidden within an item with other electronic components(camera laptop mobile cd player or radio) And by the way the explosives look like fruit or drinks and an x-ray can't tell the difference between nitro and water, add the battery from your favourite electronic gizmo and remember suicide bombers don't need timer's!!
