Personal experience:  After the OKC bombing incident, I grew curious
about the explosive used and started nosing about for information on ANFO
blasting agents.  Two weeks of prowling the Internet netted me aught
but a pile of conflicting reports, hearsay, and speculation.  Two hours
in the library told me how to mix ANFO and what was required to set it
off.

PS> I was encouraged to find that ANFO, while incredibly easy to mix,
is an absolute bear to ignite explosively. :)
