Perhaps the detonator was made in China? Sounds more plausible to me.

But you're wrong!

'Cause about 7 years ago, the US decided not to buy any made-in-China chips, fuses and detonators lest any of them should turn out to be unreliable. Some patriots feared that using foreign chips, fuses and detonators might be tantamount to allowing some foreign power(s) to sabotage
the military capability of the U.S.

I think the fuse on that bomb that failed to go off was probably made in the U.S. or in Canada. Probably poor quality control is to blame............... Or somebody was sleeping on the job on a Monday or was in a great hurry to go home on a Friday afternoon! Or maybe somebody started assembling the bomb on a Friday afternoon and finished the job on a Monday!
