according to the company it wouldn't have been possible to make the bomb with the amount of fire works he purchased..

did anyone else notice that he signed up for their reward program? kind of amusing.

but it did also say that confined in small place like a pressure cooker it could have worked

Actually, fireworks use black powder, but I get your point. If the front pages were saying he bought black powder used for muzzle loaders from a gun shop all of us reloaders would be in trouble.

I notice a lot of posts referencing Black Powder, or White Powder. I find that racially offensive. Can't we just refer to it as "Da Powder", or the "Bang Juice"? Or maybe the "United Colors of Powder"?
