So... where do we complain?
Why would that MSDS help? Explosive percentages are no data available, not "none". Of course it won't blow but why would you expect a TSA monkey to figure that out from the MSDS. If they get anything from that it would be going chicken little from seeing the health risk: 3 on there.
