#1 This stuff sounds about as stable as nitroglycerine.

#2 a nice touch would be to put the recipes up on the net - but with the wrong proportions, leading to "work accidents"

#3 "Step 25. Shake well before using."

#4 The stuff brings lots of its own oxygen to the party. We can do all this detective and defensive stuff, but the first step needs to be to break up the PC BS and boot the imams and their ilk out of the country--both sides of the Atlantic. We will go broke trying to provide security. Terrorists have a great deal of leverage. Look at the two sniper-psychos around the Washington, DC area a year or two ago. All we need is the will to say STFU to the PC types and get the cancer out of the society.

#5 hair bleach (hydrogen peroxide), and acetone (used in some nail varnish removers)

Since women aren't allowed to pretty themselves up in that sexually repressed society, how else are they going to keep the unemployment down in the industrial chemical industry?

#6 Maybe we might think about profiling the purchases of bleach and nail-polish remover? I suspect you need quite a bit of the ingredients. If it precipitates at low temperatures (yeah, I went to see how to make it) it can't be a very efficient reaction. How much acetone ya gotta buy to get a pound of the stuff?

#7 All his classmates at NC State were just interested to learning how to set up a meth lab.

#8 Beauty supply stores sell acetone by the gallon. So do various industrial supply places as it's a common way to remove any traces of oil from surfaces.

#9 Gee, why not just stump around with a big bag of Ammonium Iodate? What, it's not unstable enough? Sheesh...

#10 Bobby: online sources give 4g of AP from 12.5 mL of acetone.
Another source (a chemist) has said that extraction should be done in ether (which is itself very dangerous).
A person has to be crazy to be playing with this stuff. It seems like a sure way to lose fingers, limbs or life.
These mad mullahs really live up to their name.

The blast victims who survived are lucky the savages used home made stuff. The death toll may have been like in Madrid if military explosives were used.

#11 So we have this:
Acetone peroxide is highly sensitive to heat, friction, and shock
right after this:
he compound was also used by shoe bomber Richard Reid, who packed his shoe with more than 100 grams of plasticised triacetone triperoxide (TATP) - another name for acetone peroxide.

I dunno about his shoes, but mine see plenty of shock and heat in the course of a day.

#12 Well all these thugs are involved with drug trafficing to some extent.
Cocaine is explosive
Ether is explosive
explosive is the definition of a meth lab

All these activities will turn the house or apt into a SuperFund cleanup site too..

#13 Don't forget the part about mixing all this stuff together in a bathtub in a council flat in Leeds...

#15 WRT manufacturing this stuff, Inshallah, as Allah wills. Idiots. Darwin will have a field day, and the neighbors will start contacting the police in self-defence. In fact, it would probably be a good idea for the Scotland Yard spokesman to wax concerned on BBC-1 about the risk to the entire neighborhood when fools play around with such things.

#16 I always hammer my TATP into a shape charge.

#17 is that like "Powderfinger" by Neil Young and Crazy Horse?
