Dry ice or C4.. doesn't it concern you that there are items like this in prohibited areas?
Seems like it would be difficult to smuggle dry ice undetected.  Doesn't it smoke and also damage skin if it comes in contact?  
Put it in a cooler and wear gloves.
 

Or just wrap it in towels or newspaper. The "smoke" is just vapor, if it's diffused through something, it goes away pretty easily.

All the potential targets are in the public areas. Al Qaeda doesn't want to bomb a pile of luggage.

Probably some prankster that works there.

A prankster does it once, says "oh shit, that's a lot of cops...", and then lays low for a long time. This is someone that wants attention.

That's my guess. I bet an employee figured out a way to get that shit in with no problems. I had to attend a training session with CHP back around 1999 or 2000 concerning dry ice bombs. At that point, if I remember correctly, we were briefed that getting caught in CA playing with that shit was a felony.
They told us there had been one death caused by a dry ice bomb. Training videos were pretty cool but that is about all I can remember.

That's true.



Most experts consider dry ice bombs to be gateway explosives.



Oh, it all starts out innocent enough - First a few ounces of Pop Rocks in a water-filled aspirin bottle - then a box of Arm And Hammer in a quart of white vinegar...



Before you know it, you're on a street corner, broke and desperate, begging for spare change to buy a half pound of Tannerite...

never heard of anyone using it like that. The gas expanding will make a loud pop with a plastic soda bottle, but never heard of anything beyond noise.

Seriously getting ridiculous fast. Soon farting in public will be an arrestable offense.  (maybe it should be ).

Police reporting multiple dry ice bombs found in restricted areas of LAX.

Not sure if this qualifies as "breaking". How dangerous is a dry ice bomb?

Yes, imagine being the first person arrested for WAD (Weapons of Ass Destruction).


The linked clip is how .gov imagines what could happen.

I'm more concerned about someone fucking around in a secure area than with the "bomb" itself.

The maintenance guys got bored. Dry ice is used in shipping stuff. Calm down, Holder...

If you put a small piece of dry ice in a guy's street shoes 15 minutes before quitting time, it goes away. The shoes remain rock hard, tho'...
