Hmmm... Fireworks use Black Powder.. which (unlike modern Smokeless propellant) IS actually an "Explosive"*... (not a terribly efficient/powerful one of course) but an explosive nonetheless...

* classified as "1.1D" on the NATO system IIRC...



Wonder if that's why the "puffer" machines alarmed? They actually worked????
