Reports are that all the bombs used old flip phones as triggering devices, so it's likely that the NJ and NY incidents are related, but why would he use pressure cookers in New York and pipe bombs in New Jersey?

its what he had?

maybe he wasnt quite stupid enough to try and buy multiple pressure cookers at the same time, and too lazy to drive to different stores

e: also possible he thought he was totally throwing the cops off his trail

So bombs made with cellphones:

the idea is that when you call the number it triggers some sort of detonator? What happens if someone calls the number after you've set up the bomb but havent placed it? Are you literally at the whim of random callers? Is there something about flip phones that get less calls? Do texts and notifications trigger the explosions?

These are probably the wrong questions to be asking on the internet in 2016. Please ignore me FBI and friends

If the FBI were smart they'd set up an autodial system that rang every cell phone in the country every half hour

From reading the article it seems like this guy was less a terrorist ready to die for the cause and more some dude pissed off about the city forcing his restaurant to close at 10pm after getting numerous complaints from neighbors about late night drunk people.

Just guessing but I bet they are set to only trigger if they receive a call from a specific number, not just if they receive any call at all. I also bet some idiot somewhere sometime has blown themselves up in exactly the way you're describing, though.

the speaker being powered is what actually activates the device, the old flip phones don't need to have service if the alarm app is used as a timer

or you would disable the ringtones for all but the phone you intend to detonate it from

none of this is new, there's a whole community of people hacking old phones to control things remotely

Every picture of 6th and 23rd after the explosion was a bunch of people standing around gawking. Yeah no hang out and see if another bomb goes off guys.

Then again I live three block from the explosion and didn't hear anything so maybe no one was worried about this fat little dude's lovely bombing technique and placement.

Someone did a bomb threat against my school not too long ago and he was arrested and charged with making terroristic threats which is a felony and last I heard his life is ruined still. All he wanted to do was get out of an exam.

Sounds like you're projecting to me.
