How does a person not only get fireworks onboard on their person (presumably), but also the means to ignite them? (I guess it could have been a party popper or the like.)

Seeing as how neither fireworks nor matches would cause an alert on a metal detector I don’t see how it would be all that hard.

Since the TSA in their infinite wisdom decided to publish their screening protocols on line you will see that one pack of “safety” matches are allowed in carry on baggage. As far as fireworks are concerned they are “forbidden” but are hard to spot via Xray. In all fairness to the TSA this flight originated in Amsterdam and the security at that end most likely was less than “optimal”
