    Well. I’ll be skeptical and say that (1) you don’t actually see what causes the watermelon to explode and (2) you can disintegrate a watermelon by dropping it from a building. Why hide the fuse inside the pen for the demonstration? Much better to show nothing but the fuse and the “one drop” of binary explosive and put it inside a brick, or a metal box.

    I’m not all that worried about exploding watermelons.

    Even if true, IMO it certainly could be, I wonder how hard is it to get said chemicals?

    Either way, with that video so widespread (and this is not to say that people that are good intentioned shouldn’t warn others about the seriousness of it, i.e. Vinnie, and whoever created the video), having it plastered over the internet doesn’t do anything but better teach terrorists how to use the stuff. And I’m not talking about terrorists with experience, I’m talking about those budding terrorists right here in the USA who support Osama.

    Well, regardless this is scary enough to make you think how people can create such evil devices…

    Bridget,

    If you know where to get it in the first place, there’s a pretty good chance you know how to use it ;-)
