If you think Slovakian security planting three RDX explosives in the luggage of a man heading for Ireland is dumb. This is dumber: The unsuspecting passenger went through security at Poprad-Tatry Airport, bomb sniffing dogs found two of the three explosives, "Good dog!" they said. The man flew to Ireland with the remaining explosive in his luggage, went through security with the explosive, took a cab with the explosive, slept with the explosive, and lived three days with the explosive before the Dublin police went apeshit and arrested him. I feel safer, much safer now. By the way RDX is relatively nonvolatile unless you have a detonator. I keep all mine in military-grade containers just to be safe. However, I find tucking a little in my underwear occasionally is a turn on for good sex. RD
