Such a document would be a document of lies. Liquid explosives cannot be synthesized airside from non-ETD/ETP-able materials without laboratory conditions.

One can find instructions on how to make explosives all over the place. The Anarchist's Cookbook and The Poor Man's James Bond are excellent mainstream literature that details the synthesis of explosives. Are we now going to be banning books?

It's long past time to destroy this scummy, disgusting, un-American POS agency.
