How do bomb squads work?

Bomb disposal squads, like the one called for Air India flight AI 772, use highly trained specialists and advanced equipment to assess and neutralise threats. They often deploy remote-controlled robots to examine suspicious packages, minimising human risk. Their meticulous process ensures public safety by safely disarming or removing dangerous devices.
