There is no open source info out there on non-dipping test strips, including the ones we are talking about, so your statement that "no non-dip stick could reliably detect hydrogen peroxide" is invalid. Without info regarding the manufacturer and capabilities of these non-dipping test strips, any statements for or against them are just conjecture.
Also, hydrogen peroxide by itself does not make a liquid explosive. I believe it is an oxidizer, which burns rather than explodes.

Of course, my guess at the reason for the unmarked bottle - TSA knows some people will search for information, find out that it is more BS theater and post on the 'net."
They only test liquids with these non-dipping test strips. However, I see your point. Without knowing anything about these, though, including their chemical composition, it's premature to make any statements for or against them.

I'm a patient person. I will continue to look on the Internet, from time to time, to search for info on them.
