Actually most IED's are triggered by what is known as the two tone method, as there was a need to afford protection for the bomb makers and a way of arming the device remotely, mainly by cellular phones set to auto answer with DTMF decoders These teams of around 5 people per cell actually operate as business units and charge out their services to produce IED's.

It would be smart money on behalf of the Government to provide these devices to the Terrorists. Imagine a wrong number in the middle of the device construction stage. Problem solved and everyone could again get on with enjoying life and the dark shade guys would hopefully be out of a job/early retirement.
