Elitzur-Vaidman problem

Bombs can have photon or light pressure triggers. Bombs explode if trigger does not jam, but jamming happens often. How can testers find at least one working bomb without exploding it {Elitzur-Vaidman bomb-testing problem} [1993] (Avshalom C. Elitzur and Lev Vaidman)? Using photon entanglement can find good bomb without triggering it.
