Post Daisycutter Question

I see that the USAF have just unloaded from a C130 a specimen of what the Taliban are probably now calling the 'Devil's Dustbin.'

Is this the same as the FAW that Beagle was talking about recently? The 'daisycutter' seems to be fused to detonate at just above the ground (via the broomstick thingy), while I thought that fuel-air weapons were set off much higher.

Could one of you martial folk enlighten me?
