Refer to the November 1979 issue of The Progressive for a description
of the construction of a thermonuclear device.  It is not actually
a "plan" per se.  However, the description is probably adequate to 
permit construction by appropriately skilled persons.  The problem
would be to obtain sufficient fissile material.  To be fair to the
phone company, the analogous components for a blue box can be bought
"off the shelf" as it were.  However, I do not agree that the phone
company (or congress, acting on its behalf) should be permitted to
abridge first amendment rights any more than The Progressive should
have been prevented from publishing its article (as it was not).
