In reply to the discussion: Florida Teen Girl Charged With Felony After Science Experiment Goes Bad [View all]Can't remember what came of it, but I heard about a kid (was in kindergarten I think.) who got suspended... Because he took a bite out of a poptart, thus making it look sorta like a gun.
Anyway, in my chem class our teacher actually let us make explosives to demonstrate to everyone else in the class. He gave us a week and said come up with somethink explosive to demonstrate. Only condition that we had to tell him what we planned to demonstrate, just to make sure we didn't accidentally come up with something that would make a really really big boom.
I ended up making a variant of Thermite - Ended up adding stuff to it to make it like a flash-bang.
Whats ironic is that it's pretty fucking easy to make explosives. Anyone with even basic chemistry knowledge can build one.
