What about the uric acid? Could that be used to make an explosive, do you think?

I'm inclined to think not; particularly not in the quantity that it's present in fresh human waste. It seems to me that the various nitrogen containing compounds in urine need to be decomposed before there's anything useful such as ammonia, ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate ...

I'm not a chemist. Maybe I'm missing something
