#1 Damn! Another Hero! Well done!

The sad part is the media is too busy talking about Janets right boob to report it :((.

#2 Somebody clarify:

How do you realize somebody has triggered a bomb by remote control ? (I mean, other than jumping 20 feet into the air and scattering yourself over a wide area -- thanks Cap'n Blackadder !)

Is it that some parts are visibly moving, yet the necessary explosive reaction is somehow not started properly ?

Also, how good does your sphincter control have to be in order to do this job ? (not sure I could pass)

#4 Bravo! Too bad the media will never focus on his brave deeds. It's probably just as well. Real hero's take satisfaction in the more meaningful rewards - such as the lives saved!

Well done!
