-
- @X08Glass containers can be suitable for low@X05-@X08order explosives@X05,@X08 but there
- are problems with them@X05.@X08 First@X05,@X08 a glass container can be broken relatively
- easily compared to metal or plastic containers@X05.@X08 Secondly@X05,@X08 in the
- not@X05-@X08too@X05-@X08unlikely event of an @X05"@X08accident@X05"@X08@X05,@X08 the person making the device would
- probably be seriously injured@X05,@X08 even if the device was small@X05.@X08 A bomb made out of
- a sample perfume bottle@X05-@X08sized container exploded in the hands of one boy@X05,@X08 and he
- still has pieces of glass in his hand@X05.@X08 He is also missing the final segment of
- his ring finger@X05,@X08 which was cut off by a sharp piece of flying glass@X05.@X08@X05.@X08@X05.@X08
-
- Nonetheless@X05,@X08 glass containers such as perfume bottles can be used by
- a demented individual@X05,@X08 since such a device would not be detected by metal
- detectors in an airport or other public place@X05.@X08 All that need be done is fill
- the container@X05,@X08 and drill a hole in the plastic cap that the fuse fits tightly
- in@X05,@X08 and screw the cap@X05-@X08fuse assembly on@X05.@X08

- @X08Large explosive devices made from glass containers are not practicle@X05,@X08
- since glass is not an exceptionally strong container@X05.@X08 Much of the explosive
- that is used to fill the container is wasted if the container is much larger
- than a 16 oz@X05.@X08 soda bottle@X05.@X08 Also@X05,@X08 glass containers are usually unsuitable for
- high explosive devices@X05,@X08 since a glass container would probably not withstand
- the explosion of the initiator@X05;@X08 it would shatter before the high explosive was
- able to detonate@X05.@X08
