Let's not minimize: Used in the right manner 28 kilos of plastique can do a huge amount of damage and cause a huge amount of loss of life.

It has twice the explosive power of TNT, is malleable, and can be molded into small apparently innocuous items. It has virtually no odour which makes it hard to detect by sniffer dogs or sniffer equipment.

Less than half a kilo of Semtex bought down a Boeing &$& over Lockerbie Scotland in December 1988

First, it's 61 pounds. Second, even 6 pounds of that stuff could do some major damage.
