My favorite section:
"The device, made from an Oasis soft drink bottle, had to be put together with a remote controlled arm at a government laboratory because the mixture was so volatile, a jury heard."
And the TSA thinks this stuff can be mixed in the airplane lav??
The issue is a matter of risk. The risk that's acceptable to a government lab worker and the risk that's acceptable to a suicide bomber are very different.
The question is not a matter of how risky it is, but whether a sufficient boom could have been made.
