From the post:
>Utah officials were forced to blow up a house in a controlled explosion after the homeowner found old dynamite. The Unified Fire Authority blew up a house in Holladay at 4 am on April 24 after the female owner found large amounts of old dynamite stashed in her deceased husband's belongings.
As they should. Unlawful storage of large quantities inherently unstable high explosives?
TNT is ludicrously dangerous if left to sit because it sweats nitroglycerin, and nitroglycerin explodes if you look at it funny.
This is storing cans of gasoline inside your furnace levels of negligences.
Dynamite is not made from trinitrotoluene, it's made from nitroglycerin. Old dynamite sweats out nitroglycerin and is extremely dangerous. Old TNT is stable.
I'm so free market I want personal self defense howitzers and explosive vending machines, and even I'm looking at this as "If your storage solution can't contain an explosion, you're an menace to everyone around you".
This guy's widow is lucky to be alive.
