Uhh, what's your source on this, and waht is the stock number
for the device, becuase those only FAE in US/NATO stockpiles that I
know of (and I'll admit that I'm two-three years out of date on my air-
ground ordinance) is the BLU-32. This thing is light enough to be
carried by strike aircraft, but too bulky. Not to mentioned seriously
un-aerodynamic.

Could you describe that too me. Again, that sounds a little big to
be packed into a case that can be carried by strike craft, but about
the right size for a BLU-32. And your utilization counts are about
right, if we are thinking of the same thing, but the smallest thing that
the US uses that can carry it is a C-130.
As for building one, you can make a dandy improvised on if you
have a propane tank, some primacord, a couple caps, and some
conventional explosives. I won't go into more detail for obvious
reasons, but it will seriously screw up most buildings. You won't
destroy something like a stadium, but you will break windows at a
couple hundred feet. And, you have the added bonus of being able
to attach it to a packframe.
If you REALLY feel the need to have a bounty worthy of a
terrorist stuck on you, borrow a gasolene tanker. Should do a
number on a city block. But getting enough conventional explosives
to intiate the whole thing would be expensive, and your fixer/dealer
should be very worried at that point (You want HOW MUCH C-
12?!!!).
