central nervous system and prevent the trigger being activated.

Would this work if the trigger was a switch that had to be kept
depressed (ie push to break rather than push to make) if it was not to
set the bomb off? If I were a Terrorist Mastermind I'd make sure that
I used such triggers for my suicide bombers as once they'd taken the
device in a fit of fervour, they'd have difficulty not setting it off
somewhere (not impossible, but difficult).
