Its worse than that, the prescription model for opiates for quite a while was to maximize two things:
- Time on medication, how long they use it for
- Higher doses, how much they use per dose
And this was because those two things going up meant profits went up.
When health is for profit, this is what happens.
I meant it more like, why blow up the pagers you spent all this effort to compromise. I would have thought that having access to those devices would be worth more covertly.
I suppose its possible the only thing they could manage to sneak into the devices was explosives though, since you have to take the board apart to find it. Its likely it looked like a board component too.
