How does one even make a pager explode!? Very concerning. I say as anxiety clouds my thoughts while I hold this phone....
Phone manufacturer can definitely hide bombs in devices, or hide a security flaw allowing the phone to overcharge and overheat itself to start a fire. I wish I had advice for what to do about this, but I don't. This is one of those things like drone strikes we all have to fear the authorities having the power to do to us as society keeps collapsing further into dystopia.
