I wonder how effective some of the newer EOD disruptors like the PigStick[1] would be. It uses a shaped charge to generate and direct an incredibly high pressure water jet for similar sorts of 'decapitation strikes' on detonators and the like. Although, we also have much better and faster radiographic imaging systems, so it might have been possible to get a better idea of the internal construction and identify a weak point for, say, drilling and endoscopy. It sounds liek the guy really put a lot of thought into the tamper detection though - there are parallels with the protection of crypto security modules, some of which do all these things and more.
