I am at a lost to see how anyone can actually mix a small amount of paste or waxy material to form dangerous explosives. In my younger days, I was assigned to an army depot where glycerines (of much lower viscosities than paste or wax) reacted with super-acids. I could see that one can mix powdered ingredients on board to get the bang (since powders are allowed on board).
