There were pagers back in 1984, right? There were definitely walkie-talkies. Do you think the T2k writers would have thought that rigging a large number of walkies to explode on command would be a realistic capability in 2024?

In the comments section of a web article on Tuesday's unprecedented pager attack, some wit dubbed the Israeli black op, "Operation Grim Beeper". Wish I'd thought of that.
