Apparently, it's totally ok to bring gunpowder aboard a plane provided it's disassembled first.

TSA agents usually rotely follow the rules of their pantomime, rather than using educated judgment. Educated judgment is too tiring, too expensive, and needed elsewhere.

Exactly. Anybody who thinks TSA makes us one iota safer is deluding themselves.
