Lots of people think they know it all and get themselves and others killed by taking dumb risks. You sound like one of those.

Go build a working bomb from hexamine, and get back to me.

The 'guidelines' of which you speak are why the chemical industry has largely left the United States. Too many stupid regulations written by too many bureaucrats with too little knowledge of chemistry. Yeah, organic materials burn, sometimes violently. They release gases, which under some circumstances can be explosive. Burning wood does both those things. But, guess what, they're not building IEDs in Iraq using wood as the explosive. Why is that?

"But, guess what, they're not building IEDs in Iraq using wood as the explosive. Why is that?"

Maybe because they prefer something like... hexamine?

Since you now finally admit that Hexamine is flammable and potentially highly explosive, I think we are on the same wavelength, although I totally disagree with your cavalier attitude on chemical safety. I hope you don't do that for a living.
