Quoted:
Not sure if this qualifies as "breaking". How dangerous is a dry ice bomb? That depends on how you make it. Can be anywhere from "stand ten feet away to be safe" to "better be 100 feet away, or behind something solid". I know a guy who made a... "really good" one, and thought he was safe fifty feet away. The scar on his chest was a good 6" long. Sure, it's still pretty minor compared to what can be done with actual explosives, but it's certainly not something that you want people planting where innocent people will be. |

Dry Ice bombs can turn into something more sinister later on. Or it could be someone that works there is trying to anonymously draw attention to some of the security shortcomings. Either way, wonder if they're going to start requiring people to register the purchases of dry ice like they do the Sudafed??

Two things:
1) I am of the opinion that a plastic bottle filled with dry ice does not qualify to be called a "device" and 2) When exactly did it become fashionable to use the term "nexus to terrorism"? Heard it a few times of late (also the DC car shooting). It used to be "connection to terrorism." Is Nexus now cooler and more official sounding? |

I guess so, makes sense when then figure out who the culprit is, that guy is going to be in HUGE HUGE trouble like going to federal prison the airline industry is worth diamonds and gold and they DO NOT fuck around with that revenue stream. the airlines pull down some massive amount of money, like 5% of GDP, of which 75% is passenger traffic |

How dangerous is a dry ice bomb? 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 ).
