Amazing what a descriptive verb can do for a noun

I like the way you think. I decided to look at the antonym of each term.
A "non-suicide" bomber would be one who sets off a bomb, and is still alive.
A "non-homicide" bomber is one who sets bombs off in empty fields.
Based on the antonyms, "suicide bomber" is more descriptive and useful.
