    HK’s female bomb disposal officers on blazing a trail

    https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/...ing-your-nerve
    Kwong joined the bureau seven years ago and now specialises in handling improvised explosive devices.

    She is one of four women working part-time at the unit – the highest number of female officers to date.

    There have been loads of wartime bombs dug up at construction sites. Where have you been?

    To be fair it does clearly state in the OP that she specialises in handling improvised explosive devices - in other words terrorist devices.
    East_coast and HK_Katherine like this.

    Or homemade smoke bombs like the war game goons had at the abandoned TV studio a few years ago
