Inert Magnetic Reed Switch

The X-ray correct, inert, magnetic-reed switch firing circuit contains all of the necessary components of an improvised explosive device (IED). The circuit is fully functional and will demonstrate that the firing switch has been activated by emitting an audible tone or illuminating the LED in the blasting cap. The circuit board contains an X-ray correct battery, wire, switch, detonator, and inert explosive.

Powered by four AAA batteries, this IED circuit would be activated when the second part of the magnetic reed switch is removed. The dynamite simulant is engineered to have the same density and effective atomic number (Zeff) as the real explosive threat.
