Homeland Security would have gone slap crazy about the gang I grew up with, we did some serious chemistry experiments. My high school chemistry teacher said that if there was a market for things that smelled bad and made loud noises I would be rich, LOL. I had to resist the temptation to tell my grandson a lot of things that would get him in trouble now.
Oxidizers are wonderful things, fulminating compounds are even better!

I know it..
We used to make this Ammonium Iodide compound.
Its perfectly stable when wet as in a paste, but the stuff is so unstable when dried out that a fly landing on it will set it off.
They taught us how to make it in high school
You put a dab of that under the toilet seat lid LoL
Or we’d put it on the inside of a kitchen cabinet door and leave it open. Some one would slap the door closed and “bang” it would fly back open!

Watch the film October Sky for a glimpse of the crew I ran around with.
Yes I still hang out with ten and one of them has a wife that works for NASA
