Boy is this ever OT! But you asked for comments.

Even if this were to work, I suspect they would start
smuggling in raw materials and simply wire them up
shortly before use.

So now we (they) start broadcasting this? I don't know
anything about blasting, but as you describe it, they
will be broadcasting enough energy to make a wire of
the right size heat up enough to set off the blasting
cap. What does that do to pacemakers, hearing aids,
automobile computers, cell phones, laptop computers,
desktop computers, consumer electronics, etc., and
legitimate blasters?
