What a crazy idea to carry these bombs in his car! You need to do it
somewhere safe, like perhaps at a caver party on a Texas beach so when it
explodes prematurely it takes out only 5 eardrums! (Gill can explain.)

short but relevant story
A few years there was a news story of a guy in Denver (I think) who was
going to a party across town. Wanting to do something exciting for the party
guests he decided that carbide bombs would be good entertainment. He had a
cutting torch rig (Oxygen and Acetylene) at his shop so filled up
a-half-dozen or so plastic bags with the perfect mixture and stuffed them
into the back seat of his small car. He headed across town. Somewhere along
the way one (if not all) of the bags ignited, blowing all the windows and
doors out of the car and puffing the roof up and the sides out (I saw
pictures of it). Aside from ear-drums and some superficial burns I think he
was basically unhurt, but the kicker is that he was charged with
manufacturing and transporting explosive--both felonies under federal law.
And I think he missed the party, too.
