What they need is a powerful mobile phone detector for patrols to carry to detect concealed phone users waiting to explode an IED as the patrol passes. One that can be carried by foot patrols and vehicle patrols.

I think that halloween means making a call to every mobile briefly because this is how the phone is used to set of the bomb.

It is not really practical given the amount of mobiles in Thailand but it would certainly make you think if you made a mobile activated bomb as it may go off just as you turn the phone on.
