"familiary with chemistry" (none / 1)
I've always wondered if the feds are gonna hold that against me someday ;-)

I mean, combine that with my subversive political leanings, experience working with nuclear waste, and firearms collection (which, of course, will remain in the U.S.), and I'm a walking PATRIOT Act target!

Sorry for the silly comment.

As for the chemistry, here's triacetone triperoxide (click to enlarge the image):

See the oxygen-oxygen (O-O) bonds?

That's the "peroxide" part of the molecule (hydrogen peroxide is H-O-O-H), which is what makes it an explosive.

Nasty.
