Perception is your friend here my friend. Noticing people doing stuff is the whole point of it after all. And while sixth sense may (or may not) give a warning, Clairvoyance and/or Precognition could (presuming that the psi has either of course). As for finding the one odd charge? That depends on a whole host of factors (size of the charge, how much stuff is carried, how its carried, where the charge is put)
The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.

Also, if they do their pre-battle check, they should spot it.

However, by the rules, sixth sense didn't allow you to be caught unawares. This can mean they'd make a "dodge" roll to divest themselves of their deadly pack "just in time" to not get blown to hades and back.

Though it's really up to the GM.

Comment: If you have something to say, back it up with thoughts and reasons. Simply posting to agree or disagree tends to be a waste.

Just watched the Richie Rich live film with that Home Alone kid.

You should get that device that tells you what it smells.

Could detect TNT and save your life.
