Really, I never heard of that. My method of EOD was to set off an explosive right next to whatever was found. Disarming something? Not me.

TSgt David L. - Fortunately I never ran across a situation where disarming was the only option, except in training. In those cases the explosives were usually just enough gun powder to let you know you failed. I never failed.

SGT Robert Pryor - Good deal. A few feet of det cord or other "Penalty" is enough to drive the point home so you learn your lesson! Thankfully you learned ahead of time.
We have a ton of specialized tools including robots to do a lot of the dirty work. The bad guys always find a way to counter our efforts. Days like today are for remembering our Heroes who died trying to save others.
