[about TATP being undetectable by bomb-sniffing dogs] Rank nonsense. Acetone emits a powerful smell, even in powdered form.

Your words. (1) Acetone isn't TATP. (2) Acetone doesn't have a "powdered form," and in particular TATP isn't acetone in powdered form. Equating TATP with acetone is nonsense, and doing so with contempt, as your post does, makes it rank. Let's speak again about clarity, ignorance, flailing, and unseemliness.

Furthermore, I don't know for a fact that pure, freshly prepared TATP has any odor at all, notwithstanding your other post. Do you? It is easy to prepare in impure form, and whether such material smells has little bearing on whether the pure material does.

Yes, I do know. Besides the post from a 3rd party source that I made up in #53 (with source link), and besides TATP being made from nail polish remover, it's generically safe to say that **any** subtance that deteriorates, decays, or evaporates, even water, has a smell at some level.

TATP decays rapidly, by the way.
