Using engineers on foot is the best way, just like other mines.

I use the UK EOD teams (size 0) - to scout ahead on foot if playing an Afghanistan game.

Snipers can target the devices - and the code should be fixed soon to actually let them fire at the things.

But you still need engineers to best find them. So if they are already close by, then why not clear the device with them?.

Heavy snipers were supposed to do it. It's on the list to investigate

Of course, that's what engineers are for (they are also better at spotting the things). Same as with regular mines.

Just be careful if its a radio-detonated one as if the AI or human opponent sees you close by he'll set it off remotely!.

Yeah, I use Engineers to clear in my scenarios. Here's a thread discussing this subject that you may find interesting as well,
"Mines!, IEDs, Booby Traps, and other nasty things." Suhiir has a good post there too.
