Years ago someone used some nitroglycerine to set off an explosion on board - it did not take down the aircraft or cause significant damage, except to a passenger and some seats.

Not exactly the threat it's been made out to be. How about plastic explosives? Why are you people so fascinated with liquids and shoes? Why do you ignore everything else and only insist on liquids and shoes?
