I can agree with this. And while I know explosives are generally not allowed on planes, and perhaps I'm underthinking it, wouldn't a lack of a detonator, etc. tend to rule out any real concerns? [Similar to that 'massive' 1/2 ounce that the military fellow tried to take home and show off.]
Hate defending the truly bad folks out there, but unfortunately, if you don't defend them - you're giving up your rights at the same time.
