She's right, although the rule about the things exploding was stated
specifically for the Headbanger chips, and I think the reason that rule was
made was because...well, let's face it, that's freakin badass.  BUT, I think
being able to detonate any piece of booby-trapped Combine equipment with the
EMP makes it just a little too powerful, because your doomie (if he's any
good) will be tearing through Automatons like butter.  I'd say it's your
call, but the headbanger chips always blow up.  And, with regards to the TN,
the original ruling said it counted as shielded military electronics, so
check the Doomie book for the TN for that.
