How in the world do you secure all roads?!? Remember - the bad guys live there.

There are ways to tell, but they are often subtle and even if you do everything right you can still get hit. This type of attack isn't new - booby traps have been around for hundreds/thousands of years, and I usually point out that Samson was the first "suicide bomber." IEDs will be the predominant form of attack for the foreseeable future. The days of guys in uniforms going against other guys in uniform in "battles" are over.
