The war on reactive targets
The FBI says terrorists are buying over the counter explosives. Like pressure cookers and nails?

They better not watch that Star Trek episode where Kirk makes his own gun powder!

Not only Kirk’s home-made black powder, but think of the PSH that armor piercing diamond bullets will generate.

Diet pepsi and Mentos.
Drano & Aluminum foil.

Cut their budget to 1/4 of what it is now, and protect freedom. They haven’t solved a case or detected a threat early unless they entrapped it in decades.

Like gasoline and propane?

Make your own, get the AN from instant cold packs and the aluminum powder can be had from crumpled up aluminum foil & a file.

Hmmm.
How about targeting and profiling terrorists?
Are there any other Chechens in the US that the Russian government has warned us about?

So why don’t they arrest them?

Maybe Kirk wouldnt have to make his own gunpowder if they hadnt boight up all the ammo. Just saying.

The bombs were made using the contents of common fireworks (mostly BP and flash powder I rekon). Just watch what happens to the fireworks industry this July.

@SteveA, the Al powder has to be MUCH finer than you can get with a file. I’ve heard, but I haven’t tried it, that you can get better quality Al powder by putting the Al foil in a blender with water, then dry it out after “blending” for some period of time. I’m skeptical but it probably will work better than the file method.
There are <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-German-Dark-Aluminum-Powder/"other methods that probably will work but take longer.
The AN found in cold pack works fine in explosives.

A Coffee grinder works well. Yes it is much harder to get fine powder with just a file however it can be done, just takes more elbow grease.
