@agreeable_landfall @Migueldeicaza Because 20 years ago, some guys allegedly came up with a completely harebrained idea with even less of a chance to success than the moron "shoe bomber" that still has all of us taking off our dangerous chancletas at security, we still can't take a fucking water bottle on board in many countries 🤦‍♂️
I have some experience from my teens with the stuff they were trying to make; first batch was in a middle school cafeteria, luckily well before that time. If you want to make significant quantities, you have to cool it to keep it from blowing up the container; if you make just a little, that's fine in a bottle, but then you get enough for maybe a firecracker. And in any case you get it as a precipitate floating in a watery mix that stinks to high heaven (there's acetone and a strong acid in the brew) and does fuckall unless you manage to get the liquid out (that's the part where we were wise enough at 15 to leave the cafeteria before). Chance of pulling this off on a plane, undetected: zero. Especially after ordering a few kilos of ice cubes from the crew for, uhhhhm, just my drink.
