Personally, I love national insecurity such as terrorist attacks and random bombings, wish there were more of them by more people.
A big problem with random bombings is that one self can become part of the random targets.
The question is if they are truly random bombings and how do we determine if they are. And if they are truly random, how can they be adapted as a source for a good cryptosystem? ("We are sorry for the delays in the transmision. We had to let a few more bombs go off.") How many bits of entropy do you get from an explosion anyways?
