I thought that the Chinese and rushin dictatorships (rushin dictatorship 
is what you get, when you eat too many prunes and/or feijoas) simply 
searched for and eliminated everything different, like different races, 
different beliefs, and, different opinions to the dictatorship.

In terms of the term "bomb", I am wondering whether, because of 
differences is localised expressions, some of these extremely serious, 
sinister surveillance implementations, get terms like "bath bomb" 
(little hard, dry balls, of, I think, Sodium Bicarbonate based stuff, to 
be put in bathwater, to make it fizz and add stuff to make bathing 
(supposedly) more pleasant), and, "toilet bomb" (like the one in the 
Danny Glover / Mel Gibson movie, that, I think, was one of the "Lethal 
Weapon" (the "Lethal Weapon", referring to Mel Gibson, not the dunny 
bomb), that blew the toilet upon which he was sitting, and, Danny 
Glover, out of the two storey house, and, onto the street outside the 
house), confused, therefore, causing members of the public, who want to 
make their bathing experience, a little more pleasant, to have sinister 
"government men" breaking down their doors, and arresting them, for 
searching for information about how to make or buy, bath bombs.

Perhaps, the "toilet bomb" style of bomb, as used in the "Lethal Weapon" 
(?) movie, should be renamed the "Danny bomb", as in Danny Glover, the 
intended victim, but, then, again, due to localised differences (in 
pronunciation), that could then, easily be confused with a form of 
"Dunny bomb", where, in places in Australia (and similar, backward 
countries), where a toilet may be an outside toilet, and, so, pranksters 
explode firecrackers, shoved through holes in the walls, when someone is 
sitting on the toilet, like throwing rocks on the roof, or, unleashing 
robotic spiders or other creatures, under the door, when someone is 
sitting on the toilet.

Which is also, yet another problem, when a localised expression, like 
"dunny", as a local translation of the word "toilet", could lead to such 
"Dunny Bombs", as used by pranksters, being confused  with "Toilet 
Bombs", where either a pressure switch (triggered when a person gets up 
off the toilet seat), or, a timer switch (triggered when a person stays 
on the toilet seat too long ("Come in, Number Two, your time is up" :) 
), making the national security organisations, make "Spies Like Us" look 
like the authoritative portrayal of government agents.
