#2 ...A little bit of trivia: when I was in the Air Force, and illegal/dangerous fireworks were confiscated by the SPs, it was often my job to get them safely to the Munitions Storage Area for safe storage until EOD could dispose of them.

And to a man, we would rather work around an unexploded bomb than the fireworks. I hate that stuff with the white-hot intensity of ten thousand suns. At BEST, the cheap stuff is poorly and haphazardly made with little regard for safety or quality control.
