Correct me where ever the following is incorrect:

Data bomb is a program and it is the program that "blows up" when activated. After "detonation" the program crashes. To set multiple bombs on multiple files you must run more versions of the Data Bomb program at once. Two files protected means two Data Bombs running. This affects Response, of course.

A technomancer can use as many Data Bombs as he wants. His "complex forms may be used without limitation; running too many at once does not affect Response." (pg. 233)

Now for a question or two:

What limitation does a Bomb happy techno have?
Do those bombs stay active when he is not present on the node?
How about when he severs his ties to the matrix?
Do the bombs ever expire?
Can they be cloaked with a Stealth program? (that is probably a no)
Can a techno Bomb his own access ID or Matrix location? You know, where ever the techno's Persona resides when it isn't...in the rest of the Matrix. His own head, I guess is what I'm trying to say.

I can see some pretty nasty things happening with treaded bombs, that's why I'm asking. Node Guantlets of Terror!
