Most portable electronics today use some variation of lithium ion batteries, which when it becomes unstable can combust/explode if mishandled. However, devices generally have thermal management software and hardware, as well as multitude of other safety mechanisms like power management systems to handle charge regulation. Unless you intentionally puncture your batteries, they’re not likely to cause any problems on their own.

I guess the question I am asking is how do I know someone hasn’t placed a bomb inside as is now happening with other devices in the world? (See current news)

Just buy a small, industrial CT scanner and scan your device. Compare the results to a device that you know hasn't been tampered with.

I'm not sure I can handle $75,000 per year, do you think that 30 day free trial would be long enough to pull this plan off?
