You can. They're NOT used because of safety reasons. Stray RF could potentially trigger an explosion. HOWEVER, there are ways around it. like using an encrypted or coded signal to operate the switch. Even with RF present, it wouldn't set off the explosive without receiving that code.
It's quite simple, actually. Just not used, because of the aforementioned safety concerns.
Wires work, they're safer, and cheaper.
I've installed non-coded wireless receivers to control different things, and it's not uncommon for the devices to seemingly operate by themselves, as RFI has switched the devices on. Coded wireless receivers and corresponding transmitters solve that issue.

It's not like I have multiple FCC licenses, and know WTF I'm talking about..... right?

Hmmmm ya, except rc devices are used all the time ... can unshielded/unencrypted receivers be set of by stray rf signals? Sure I will agree with that , however to say they are NOT used is far from the truth.

true.... FCC licenses = explosives expert

They're not commonly used...
Better?
:-p
Liability when handling explosives is not something most companies wanna just take a stab in the dark with. If there's .0001% chance of a premature detonation, they don't wanna take it. The cost of a lawsuit (not to mention human life) from just one accident, could bankrupt the company, even WITH insurance.

Nope.... it's pretty common actually

But he was smart enough to build the buildings so that, when they failed...they would fall straight down giving way to their own weight in such a way as to appear to free fall.
Once is an accident
Twice is coincidence
Three times.. it's intentional.

Hey, that is not a jet plane strike fire, or a jet fuel caused fire - so how did that little pussy fire take the whole building down, starting at the ground floor, not the 7th, 9th, or 12th floor ?
Not to mention - what started those fires ?
