Remember when no one feared that their battery powered devices would be deliberately detonated by State actors? Good times.

Terrorism and the state are two sides of the same coin.
Not sure if this is the case. Apparently the batteries looked not suspicious and I'm pretty convinced these pagers went through TSA checks many times over the years. Sure, Hezbollah will be paranoid about devices now but others are by far not paranoid enough yet.
Apparently the company was setup to do this, so they didn't need to clip capacity of otherwise good pagers but could design them with explosives in mind. Until now, a 4x over-sized battery wouldn't have raised a red flag.
