If the bottle contained liquid explosive, it would curdle the milk and make it obvious to anyone

Unless layered. But liquid oxygen if that is what is literally used (one of the things I question about this article), is so cold it would freeze the contents and cover the bottle with thick frost.

All "reports" in the MSM must be read with a ton of salt.
"Reporters" are as dumb as rocks where it comes to technical or scientific nuances and, apparently, so are editors.

What was probably intended was "oxydizers". The Mainstream Media Morons have no clue as to the difference.

When liquid oxygen comes in contact with ANY organic it IMMEDIATELY violently explodes. The formation of the liquid form of oxygen is always to be guarded against. There are lots of impromptu ways to do this in a chem lab.

One does not carry LOX anywhere in a plastic bottle. LOX is dangerous and does not agree with transport.

ABC News just dismissed the possibility that the clowns with 1000 cellphones in Michigan were bombers. They were just dismantling blister packs to harvest parts for resale. They turn out to be sales tax scofflaws.

There are lots of ways to ruin the lives of innocents. I suppose the speculators on FR will eventually hit on a workable scheme. In the meantime, feel free to smear an entire class based on religion. And yes, I realize most but not all recent terrorists are Islamic.
