Passive Security

Anyone know where any assortment of said devices can be purchased?

(i.e Naval Mines, Regular Mines, etc.)

Arms dealers.
I dont know of any legit companies that sell them.

Mines are hard to get now after the Ottawa treaty. But im sure if one were to look for some we could find them, hell even manufacture some.

Pretty sure you could pay some kids in a poor ass backwater country $5 per 20, if you're coldhearted enough to send kids to disarm a minefield.

Over here the Taliban set up some cool bombs:

-Discarded magazines will be hollowed out and jammed full of explosives set to explode when picked up
-IED's that are pressure-detonated, BUT remote activated. They'll arm it with an ICOM radio after the first vehicle blows past (the one with radio-jamming capabilities) and blow a new ass in the middle vehicles
-Thumb Drive bombs (there's a graphic floating around on /k/ for this one): you open a thumb drive, pack it with an easily-detonated plastic explosive composite(with maybe some bird shot or screws) and have the actual USB part attached to two wires that are touching something easily combustible. How it gets us is our operators will confiscate it on a mission, send it to the intel guys, they throw it in a super-secret computer and get slotted while it damages all equipment in the room.

Has that thumb drive scenario actually happened to your intel guys?

Not in my area, but it has happened enough that we know to wait and see if our dogs 'hit' on it, and to let EOD do an examination beforehand.
