Here TEDAX means: "Técnico Especialista en Desactivación de Artefactos
Explosivos". These are the people which are called for example when a
bomb from a previous war is found. 

In English the more or less equivalent term is EOD (explosive ordnance
disposal).

What kind of bomb are you trying to prevent from exploding? :-)

[Yes, I deliberately refrained from entering the recent flamewars^W
discussions on this mailing list.]
