Now there are binary liquids which when simply combined create an explosive mixture.

Hopefully the purveyors are very carful about their customers, not something to be relied upon absolutely though.

Setting one (or more) off in an airplane cabin would not be pleasant to say the least; to do any structural damage would require literally gallons of the stuff. We're not talking Coke bottles or sippy cups here.
Which is part of the reason I disagree with the liquid ban. My comment was simply to point out that no-one thinks water is a threat.
