What government does
The charges against Kaynor make him sound like he’s buddies with the Taliban. They include unlawful possession of a destructive device, five counts of unlawful manufacture of a destructive device and four counts of disorderly conduct. What did this Al Qaeda mastermind do? He put dry ice in soda bottles and watched them go pop in his backyard.
Not sure if Oregon law defines a destructive device differently but it seems to me that dry ice bombs do not fit the federal legal definition.

You think that’s bad? In Virginia, spitting out your drink now qualifies as “making a destructive device”:

In elementary school we were taught how to ignite a match, or matches, inside a closed glass container using a magnifying glass and the light of the sun. It would propel a cork across the room. In other words; we were taught to manufacture a firearm inside a public school. But that was before 1968 – before The Mass Insanity took hold.

In 5th or 6th grade, Sister Mary John supervised several students in the making of black powder from sulfur, potassium nitrate, and charcoal. The kids hand ground the ingredients (separately) in a mortar with a pestle, then mixed it up, then set it off in the front yard of the school, while the rest of us watched. Best show and tell EVAH!

Was that Catholic school next to a playground, by any chance?

When I was in grade school in the 90s, we were shown how to make dry ice bombs, Drano bombs, and an alternate method of using Drano to collect hydrogen in a balloon.
This is just insane.
