A Taser should not trigger a detonator.
Taser, 50mA

"a standard industrial detonator requires at least several hundred milliamps"
200 mA for the old designs,
Since a Taser will generate 5 amps into 4000 ohms, it will do at least 10Amps into a 1.5 ohm detonator.
(http://www.taser.org/electrical-specifications.html).
However if you read the specification more carefully it states "The time-averaged current is .00022 Amps." - that is 220 MICRO amps.
0.22mA should not heat up a 200mA detonator and set it off.
